ISLAMABAD, May 3: Former AJK President and leader of the All Jammu and Kashmir Muslim Conference, Sardar Muhammad Abdul Qayyum Khan, has said the United Nations resolutions on Kashmir had become obsolete.

Speaking at a press conference here, on his return from New Delhi after attending ‘Heart to heart conference’ attended by Kashmiris from both the sides of the divide, he said the time had come to accept that there were militant training camps in Pakistan as well as Azad Kashmir, in the past, which were boldly closed down by President Gen Pervez Musharraf.

He said there were no training camps now but some militants were still present in Pakistan and Azad Kashmir.

Sardar Qayyum said the four-point proposal on Kashmir, floated by Gen Musharraf, had evoked a good response in India.

He described his meetings with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and policy-makers as highly successful and expected a major breakthrough on Kashmir. He said Mr Singh was also in favour of carrying forward the peace process.

He said, during the conference, he proposed opening of all travel routes between two sides of Jammu and Kashmir, as was done in 1956. He said the proposals of self-governance and demilitarisation had been discussed in detail and India had expressed its willingness to do this in phases.

He said India was demonstrating flexibility in its attitude on Kashmir. He said that although he was on the top of India’s list of enemies, granting him a visa was a major development.
