By B. Muralidhar Reddy
The subject figured briefly at an interactive session he had with a group of Pakistani editors and columnists on the deadlock between the Jamali Government and the Opposition parties on the validity of the laws he promulgated during the three years of military rule. M. Ziauddin, Resident Editor of Dawn, who attended the meeting, told The Hindu that Gen. Musharraf was "very optimistic" over the peace offer moving forward. "I am very hopeful that something positive would emerge," he said. It appears that one journalist told Gen. Musharraf that this time around Pakistan should be "careful" and not "repeat mistakes" it had made at the Agra Summit in July 2001. Gen. Musharraf did not agree with the scribe's suggestion and said that "I did nothing wrong in Agra". Interestingly, he told the group that it served no purpose to go into the past. "It is no use who has won or lost. The Indian Prime Minister has made an offer and there should be no value judgments. It is a good offer and we take it seriously."
Gesture to Sikh pilgrims
PTI reports from Lahore: Gen. Musharraf has offered to provide unrestricted passage to Indian Sikh pilgrims who want to visit Gurdwara Kartarpur in that country without a passport or visa.
