Think of the economy

Sir, - This is with reference to the Pakistani President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf's statement on resuming talks with India during the visit of the German Chancellor, Mr. Gerhard Schroeder, to Pakistan. The interest shown by Gen. Musharraf towards the Kashmir problem appears to be unrealistic. If he was really interested in a dialogue with India, he would not have blocked the talks at the Agra summit.

However, he uses the phrase resumption of dialogue at intervals fixed by him to gain attention from the international community and to make them feel Pakistan is more interested in restoring peace in Kashmir than we are. It is time we learnt from China which is focussing on improving its economy.

We must think of our economic prosperity also even as we embark on peace talks.
