Honors- A synopsis of new changes, a new page every day, that is impacting our lives our relationships and our daily existence, nothing maters more than a peaceful coexistence, a realisation that has dawned in our region and blossoming every day. 1.2 billion people wake up to new hope and new dawn, and this being a direct result of cajoling by Bush post 911 strategies. Now Mr. Advani joins the chorus that we have been harping for long; ggg “So many things happened in Pakistan and made him realise terrorism is an evil which will affect every country.” Love conquers all hatred

LK Advani says he was behind Musharraf’s Agra visit

NEW DELHI: LK Advani, the Bhartia Janta Party president, said that he played a lead role in inviting Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf to the 2002 summit. A fortnight ago Musharraf had claimed that the Agra talks failed because of “the negative influence” of Indian leaders such as Advani.

Talking to Shekhar Gupta, editor-in-chief of the The Indian Express, in NDTV’s Walk the Talk programme, Advani said that he believed Musharraf “could deliver”. He said, “For us to have invited Musharraf despite Kargil was not a small thing. I claim I did it, I advised Vajpayeeji that it did not matter if Kargil had failed.”

Stressing that Indo-Pak relations must be pursued further, Advani said, “With General Musharraf in office, there is a possibility that we can move forward.” He said that Musharraf came to the talks “with the kind of confidence which made him feel that India would be willing to sign a treaty, even if he asserted that Jammu and Kashmir is a freedom struggle and no terrorism is taking place.” Asked what brought about a change in Musharraf, Advani said, “So many things happened in Pakistan and made him realise terrorism is an evil which will affect every country.” daily times monitor
