NEW YORK A formal meeting between Foreign Ministers of Pakistan and India is unlikely today (Monday) as the Pakistani delegation is standing firm on its demand that the talks should be result-oriented. With India on its back-foot in the wake of the popular uprising in the Occupied Kashmir, the Indians are pressing for talks as part of its measures to try to defuse the situation. Pakistani diplomats say a meeting between Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and his Indian counterpart SM Krishna would take place as soon as India agrees to hold substantive talks aimed at resolving the long-standing disputes including Kashmir, where the situation has taken a turn for the worse. But discussions aimed at setting up talks between the two Foreign Ministers are continuing, the sources said. Indian Security forces, armed with shoot-on-sight orders, have been battling crowds of protesters demanding freedom in towns and cities across the valley, despite strict curfews. We have a principled position that the talks between the two countries should be result-oriented, not just a photo-op, one source said. On Friday, Qureshi and Krishna, who are in New York attending the 65th session of the UN General Assembly, had a chance encounter at the United Nations when they came out of their separate engagements. During the past week, Foreign Minister Qureshi has focused on the grave developments in Indian Occupied Kashmir at several public forums in New York. Addressing a gathering at the Asia Society, Qureshi described Kashmir as the festering sore of South Asia and urged the US to play a facilitating role in resolution of the issue. The United States, as the world leader, has special responsibility towards finding a just and peaceful solution of Kashmir, the Minister said. The final document of the Organisation of the Islamic Conferences annual meeting this year, held on the sidelines of the opening week of the UN General Assembly, backed the Kashmiri peoples struggle for the right to self-determination. The OIC communiqu urged the international community to play its due role to settle this longstanding dispute on UN agenda for the overall improvement of the relations between Pakistan and India as well as to promote regional peace and stability. The Indian Foreign Minister has maintained that Kashmir is a internal matter and rejected any interference from outside. He, however, noted that all issues including Kashmir would be discussed when Qureshi comes to Delhi for talks at a yet to be fixed date. Everything that they want to discuss and everything we want to discuss with them will be discussed, he said. Kaswar Klasra from Islamabad adds: Finally Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi succumbed to pressure mounted by the troika comprising President Zardari, Premier Gilani and Obama administration as he gave a green signal to meet SM Krishna in New York despite knowing the fact that the same meeting would damage Kashmiris cause of self-determination. According to diplomatic sources, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi was influenced by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani (who were influenced by Obama administration) to meet his Indian counterpart SM Krishna in New York to discuss how to defuse tension between the two nuclear-armed neighbours. Interestingly, the higher officials of Foreign Office in Islamabad were resisting the talks in New York at this time, as they knew that India was desperate to hold talks with Pakistan to use it as one of the steps to defuse the grim situation in Indian Kashmir. Sources further informed this correspondent that Foreign Minister Qureshi was also not interested in talks with his Indian counterpart at this point in time. Background interviews and off the record discussions with some higher officials of Ministry of Foreign Affairs revealed that the Foreign Office wanted to initiate substantial talks with New Delhi i.e. it wanted the revival of Composite Dialogue between the two arch-rivals. A source disclosed that some influential officials of Obama administration had recommended US President Obama to go for a Clinton-like trip to Pakistan, however, it was not clear either he (Obama) had agreed to this idea or not. History of Indo-Pak talks reveals that India has never opted for result-oriented talks to bring peace and integrity in the region. When contacted for comments, the foreign policy experts resisted to the expected meeting between Qureshi and Krishna. They were of the view that anyone including the Kashmiri leaders should not, under any pressure, allow the present momentum of the movement to break down as it was the time for them to achieve their right of self-determination as per their own aspirations. The Indians have agreed to discuss all issues with Pakistan, inclusive of Kashmir issue. They have sought Pakistans help in this regard. This clearly manifests their helplessness to control the present wave for freedom, which has engulfed the Kashmir Valley. Analysts further said that Pakistani leaders and the Government should be mindful not to fall short of any condition except that first India agrees to hold plebiscite to allow the Kashmiris the right of determining their fate as per their aspiration. It is a possibility that the sudden offer of India to hold talks with Pakistan could be a ploy to use Pakistan to gain time and make space for a fresh strategy to launch operation to quell the strong uprising of freedom movement, experts expressed their fear during a chat with this correspondent on Sunday. It is important to mention here that All Parties Hurriyat Conference had proposed setting up of committees comprising leaders from both India and Pakistan as a way forward in resolving the decades-old Kashmir dispute.
