ISLAMABAD July 5: Prime Minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain on Monday asked the media not to give a negative twist to the reported visit of Pakistan Boy Scouts to held Kashmir where they were said to have presented bouquets to their hosts.

Talking to newsmen here outside the Senate hall, the prime minister said that Pakistan was committed to composite dialogue with India and the process initiated by President Pervez Musharraf would continue in the days ahead.

When asked about the reported visit of Pakistani boy scouts to held Kashmir, he said: "It is time to end the practice of giving a negative twist to issues and levelling false allegations."

When asked as to when will he relinquish Pakistan Muslim League president's office to fulfil the requirement of the Political Parties Order, 2000, he said: "Whenever such an occasion arose, I would prefer the party office over the office of the prime minister."

Responding to a question as to when he would invite the opposition for a dialogue, Mr Hussain said the Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal (MMA) had accepted his invitation to meet him on Tuesday and hoped that the process of creating an understanding with the opposition will continue.

The MMA, it may be mentioned, has accepted the prime minister's invitation to attend a briefing at the PM House on Wana and other security issues. When he was reminded that, while being the interior minister, he had described the drug case against detained Asif Ali Zardari as false, Mr Hussain said: "I still stand by my statement".
