In Lahore in a seminar organised by our paper.....'Pakistan has been unable to stop infiltration, says Gen Nishat.' 'Men like Hafiz Saeed, chief of the outlawed Lashkar-e-Taiba (now Jamaat ud-Daawa), needed to be roped in. “(Professor Saeed) has no business to go and attack the Red Fort or the parliament in Srinagar.” '

(A very interesting threadbare discussion.... Daily Times seminar)

By Fasih Ahmed

LAHORE: Possibility of another Indo-Pakistan war has grown because Islamabad is not keeping its word and cross-border infiltration into Indian-administered Kashmir is continuing, Lt Gen (R) Nishat Ahmed said here on Friday.

Gen Nishat was speaking at a Daily Times seminar organised at the Avari hotel on the subject of a possible fourth Indo-Pakistan war.

He said men like Hafiz Saeed, chief of the outlawed Lashkar-e-Taiba (now Jamaat ud-Daawa), needed to be roped in. “(Professor Saeed) has no business to go and attack the Red Fort or the parliament in Srinagar.”

Our earnestness for dialogue needs to be backed by credible action: “We have not upheld the commitments we made to the world. Cross-border infiltration is continuing and while the government may not be actively participating in this, it is certainly looking the other way.”
