Clear policy on Kashmir sought

Published April 23, 2004

MUZAFFARABAD, April 22: Ruling Muslim Conference secretary general and former AJK finance minister Shah Ghulam Qadir on Wednesday said that bilateralism had failed to deliver in South Asia and called upon the European Parliament to help facilitate an amicable settlement of disputes in the region, mainly the long running Kashmir issue.

Speaking at a news conference in the wake of his recent tour to Brussels to attend the Kashmir Conference, he said he had urged the European Parliament to devise a clear policy on Kashmir which hitherto was missing on its part.
