'Don't cling to UN resolutions on Kashmir'

Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid-I-Azam, Pakistan's ruling party, has said that "clinging" to the 60-year-old United Nations resolutions to resolve Kashmir issue would be "hypocrisy" and "wastage of time".

Bold decisions are required to resolve contentious issues and such an approach alone will ensure peace in the South Asian region, PML-Q president and former Prime Minister Shujaat Hussain said.

Hussain was recently in India, heading a ten-member parliamentary delegation.

"We

must take realities into consideration and give up this politics of hypocrisy and put an end to rhetoric. Six decades have passed and the two sides have not moved an inch on the core issue of Kashmir," party secretary Mushahid Hussain was quoted as saying by The News.

Mushahid said the traditional Pakistani stance was "Kashmir first and other issues later" but now it has been amended to "Kashmir plus other issues."
