There is nothing to feel so great about this news ,as several times in the past, Pakistan told the same thing but continued its activities against India only to prove that a dog's tail can never be straightened.President Musharraf's words that the wishes of Kashmir people need to be respected conveys lot of inner meaning and is subject to any interpretation of their choice later.But one thing is certain!At least a beginning in a diplomatically cordial atmosphere has been done and let us hope that a well beginning is half done.In the recent past,with change in the form of Govt,there however,appears a discernible change in Pakistaha's's approach and attitude which should,if contiued,go a long way in resolving all our long pending issues with it.However,it is billion dollar question as to how far,with its capricious nature and day to day changing versions,Pak could keep up this trend much wanted by both the countries in mutual interest.If some thing concretely good emerges out of these talks and is implemented,it will be a feather in the cap of Congress which they can boast of and encash as election manifesto.
