ISLAMABAD - Pakistan on Thursday demanded the resumption of Indo-Pak peace process saying it was essential to resolve the core issue of Kashmir and other bilateral disputes in a peaceful manner. Addressing his weekly press briefing, the Foreign Office Spokesman Abdul Basit said, Pakistan wants resumption of dialogue with India as quickly as possible as this is necessary to resolve issues facing the two countries and the region. When asked that Washington had pressed India to resume peace process with Pakistan, he said, Any assistance for the resumption of dialogue is encouraging. To another query, he said that President Asif Ali Zardari and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh would attend the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit on June14-18 in Russia but there was no planned meeting between the two leaders. When asked if he was ruling out the possibility of a meeting between President Zardari and the Indian Prime Minister, Basit said he was not saying they would not be in the same room. He said President Zardari would have bilateral meetings with his Russian counterpart and other leaders on the sidelines of the SCO Summit. There will also be a trilateral meeting of the presidents of Pakistan, Afghanistan and Russia to take stock of the regional situation, he said. Answering a query, he said Pakistan was seriously considering filing an appeal against the Lahore High Courts order releasing banned Jamaat-ud-Dawah chief Hafiz Mohammed Saeed from detention in connection with the Mumbai terror attacks. The matter of filing an appeal against the High Court order freeing Hafiz Saeed from house arrest has not been given up, he said. He said Pakistan was sparing no efforts to bring the Mumbai attacks perpetrators to book. Pakistan wished that instead of providing information in piece-meals India should have provided all information in one go, he said. He said even the latest information received on May 20 was in languages other than Urdu and English. Pakistan has received a part of the document in English and translation of the remaining part is still awaited, Basit said. In reply to a question, he said out of 543 million dollars pledged in response to the UN appeal, the world body had so far received about 24 per cent of the amount that had been spent on relief activities for the IDPs of Swat. Both the UN and Pakistan are in touch with the donor community to impress upon them to release the pledged amount without any delay so that there is no disruption in relief activities, he added. To a query, Basit said that one of the students who were earlier detained in the UK had returned home on his own accord and Pakistan was providing legal assistance to others who wanted to stay there and pursue their studies. He said, We still want our students to be released. We still want them to be allowed to continue their studies and we support them. He said it was hoped that now that the composition of the Commission assigned to probe the assassination of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto had been completed and it would visit Pakistan soon to initiate the investigations.
