India Calls for Peace With Pakistan
By KATHY GANNON
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) -- India's prime minister called for ''durable
peace, harmony and cooperation'' Saturday with its uneasy neighbor
Pakistan after traveling there on the first commercial bus service
between the two countries in 51 years.
Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee crossed into Pakistan aboard
a bus loaded with politicians and Indian film stars and decorated with
flags from the two countries. He said the bus service was symbolic of
''the desire of the people to improve relations and come together.''
His visit to Pakistan was the first by an Indian prime minister in 10 years.
''My regret is that we have spent so much time in mutual bitterness,''
Vajpayee said Saturday in a prepared speech at a banquet in his honor
at the Lahore Fort. ''It is unworthy of the two nations the size of India
and Pakistan to have wasted so much time in mutual ill-will.''
Pakistan's Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif said, ''The time is not so far
away when we, Pakistan and India, will be able to live as the United
States and Canada,'' as two friendly neighbors.
Pakistan and India have fought three wars since British rule of the
subcontinent ended in 1947, and two have been over the province
of Kashmir. The Himalayan region is divided between them, but both
nations claim it in its entirety.
Last May, Pakistan and India conducted underground nuclear tests
and declared themselves nuclear powers. Since then, world leaders
have been lobbying for better relations between the old adversaries,
fearing a fourth war could escalate into a nuclear confrontation.
Upon meeting, Vajpayee and Sharif shook hands and embraced. The
meeting was broadcast live by state television in both countries.
While most people in Pakistan welcomed Vajpayee's visit, Islamic
militants held protests throughout the provincial capital of Lahore.
On Saturday, a policeman died after he was shot while battling small
groups of militants who burned tires and pelted ambassadors' cars
with rocks.
The organizing group, Jamaat-e-Islami, had promised that demon-
strations would be peaceful.
Militant young men carrying sticks forced shop owners to shutter
their shops throughout the day to protest Vajpayee's visit, something
many said they did out of fear rather than support for the militants.
In pre-dawn raids Sunday on homes of Islamic activists in Lahore,
authorities arrested more than 200 men for allegedly instigating the
protests.
Pakistan's Information Minister Mushahid Hussein said the success
of Vajpayee's visit can be measured by the fact that ''we are not
shooting at each other, we are not shouting at each other. The success
is that we are not talking at each other but we are talking to each other.''
Both Pakistan and India have missiles capable of carrying nuclear
warheads and of hitting each other's cities and major population and
industrial centers.
Accidental nuclear confrontation has both Pakistan and India worried,
and it is believed the two sides will discuss the development of
command and control systems to protect against accidental use. |
