New Delhi, Dec 21: Sharply differing with President Pervez Musharraf, Pakistan Prime Minster Mir Zafarullah Jamali today asserted that UN resolutions calling for a plebiscite
remained the basis of finding a solution to the vexed Kashmir issue.
Musharraf had said Pakistan was ready to set aside its demand for settlement of Kashmir issue through UN resolutions and favoured both sides adopting a flexible approach and
meeting "halfway" for a solution, prompting wide-spread criticism in his country while us welcomed it.
"The basis of the whole solution lies in the UN resolution. That has to be kept in mind. You cannot overlook it," Jamali told a television channel.
Asked what Musharraf meant when he said the demand for resolutions could be set aside, Jamali said, "When President Musharraf said 'set aside', he probably meant...Yes they have to follow." "The UN resolutions will be carried through. They have to come up," he said and warned that if the UN resolutions were abandoned, it would make things "difficult to work" between India and Pakistan.
