Musharraf for no-war pact with India

NEW DELHI, JULY 4. The Pakistan President, Gen. Pervez Musharraf, today said he is ready for a ``no-war pact'' with India.

In an interview to Zee TV, he said, ``India has offered no-first- use of nuclear weapons. I am ready to go one step ahead ... for a no-war pact.''

On his upcoming summit with the Prime Minister, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee, Gen. Musharraf said the Agra meeting would be ``incomplete'' without the involvement of the Hurriyat in the talks and the earlier they were involved the better.

``I think it (the talks) would remain incomplete without them. I think they should be allowed to meet me at least and may be involved in the dialogue process at some stage if we make some progress on the Kashmir issue ... because the solution is not possible without their wishes and desires being asserted,'' he said.
