Pak. awaiting Indian response to talks offer

NEW DELHI, DEC. 7. Pakistan is awaiting a positive response from India to the proposal of its chief executive, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, for holding talks on the Kashmir issue at any time and place.

The Pakistan High Commissioner, Mr. Ashraf Jehangir Qazi, told reporters at an Iftar party hosted by him here this evening that India should not hesitate but should move forward towards holding negotiations on all bilateral issues, including Kashmir.

He said there should be some concrete proposal on Kashmir. Holding talks for the sake of talks would not serve any purpose. ``We should come out of this phase of allegations and be positive in the resolution of all bilateral issues.''
