Mirwaiz warns all-out violence in occupied Kashmir SRINAGAR, occupied Kashmir, June 5(AFP) – Moderate Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, chairman of all-Parties Hurriyet Conference, Tuesday accused New Delhi of only using peace talks with Pakistan to buy time to crush freedom fighters. He also warned that the disputed region, currently enjoying a period of relative calm, also risks a return to all-out violence reminiscent of the early days of the 17-year-old insurgency. “The time is ripe to resolve the dispute over Kashmir. If that doesn't happen, we may return to square one and violence may stage a comeback,” he told a news conference in Srinagar. “New Delhi is trying to buy time to crush the insurgency. It has never been sincere in talks,” said Mirwaiz who is also the region's top Muslim cleric. “If the Indians think they can end the movement in Kashmir by crushing the insurgency, they are grossly mistaken,” he said. Kashmiris have seen no movement by India towards addressing the wider issue of the future of the region, with New Delhi refusing to even acknowledge that Kashmir is “disputed” territory. Farooq said the priority should be troop cuts. “Demilitarisation can provide an opportunity and atmosphere to move ahead,” said the separatist, whose faction has held several rounds of talks with Indian and Pakistani leaders in the past. Farooq, however, said Pakistan's leadership is sincere about resolving the long-running dispute. “I have been assured by Pakistan President (Pervez Musharraf) that any solution acceptable to Kashmiris will be acceptable to Islamabad,” he said. “India will have to show flexibility if it is serious in addressing the issue.” He also ruled out separatists participating in the Indian-held elections due in 2008, saying “elections cannot be a substitute to a Kashmir solution.” (Posted @ 19:20 PST)
U.S. lawmakers raise alarm over Pakistan politics WASHINGTON, June 5 (Reuters) - Pakistan's use of violent intimidation to quell political protests threatens U.S. and Pakistani interests, and President Pervez Musharraf must be encouraged to restore democratic processes, several U.S. congressmen say. The unusually blunt comments to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice by Sen. Joseph Biden and Rep. Tom Lantos, both Democrats, and Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen reflect growing U.S. unease with Musharraf's handling of a widening confrontation with political opponents and the prospects for Pakistan's stability. “Over the past two months, we have witnessed the spiral of civil unrest and harshly suppressed protest in Pakistan with increasing concern,” the lawmakers wrote in a letter to Rice obtained by Reuters on Tuesday. “The national interests of the United States and Pakistan are both served by a speedy restoration of full democracy to Pakistan and the end to state-sponsored intimidation -- often violent -- of Pakistani citizens protesting government actions in a legal and peaceful manner.” They said Rice should make a public appeal to this end. Biden is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a Democratic candidate for president. Lantos is chairman of the House of Representatives International Relations Committee and Ros-Lehtinen is the panel's senior Republican. (Posted @ 19:26 PST)

Bush says democracy 'derailed' in Russia PRAGUE, June 5 (AFP) - Democratic reforms in Russia have been “derailed”, US President George W. Bush said Tuesday. “In Russia, reforms that once promised to empower citizens have been derailed, with troubling implications for democratic development,” Bush said in an address to a “Democracy and Security” conference in Prague. He also criticised China for failing to match its economic evolution with political reform. “China's leaders believe they can continue to open the nation's economy without also opening its political system,” Bush added. Washington has “strong working relationships” with both countries, he said. “Part of a good relationship is the ability to talk openly about our disagreements. So the United States will continue to build our relationships with these countries -- we will do it without abandoning our principles or our values,” he stressed. As Cold War-era relations with both South Korea and Taiwan proved in the past, “America can maintain a friendship and push a nation toward democracy at the same time,” Bush explained. The US is also using its influence to push partners such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to take further freedom-promoting steps, he said. “These nations have taken brave stands and strong action to confront extremists, along with some steps to expand liberty and transparency. Yet they have a great distance still to travel,” he said. (Posted @ 20:50 PST)
