Your Opinion

  1. Well done President Pervez Musharraf. We are all proud of you. You were absolutely superb when you spoke to the Indian press over breakfast. You have proven yourself to be a world class statesman. No one has ever advocated Pakistan's case better than you did.

  2. Every Indian and Pakistani should view the Agra summit as a good beginning. One must understand that the 54-year old misunderstanding cannot be solved in a day or two. The absence of a 'joint-declaration' should not be construed as a failure of the summit. Several such summits are further required to trust each other and build confidence. Only then, it is possible to find out the solutions.

  3. The Agra summit, in my opinion, was a good try at kick-starting a dialogue. At least the two sides are speaking with each other, once again. However, I think it will be very difficult for New Delhi to compromise on Kashmir.

  4. In my opinion, successful negotiations lead to a win-win solution only through a give and take.

  5. I salute the courage of Mr. Vajpayee and Mr. Musharraf for having taken the steps to bring peace between Pakistan and India, since bullets are not answer to any problem. For, bullets create more problems than they solve. It is high time we had peace in the region.

  6. All said and done, the negotiation process is going as per plan. It will soften up in Sept 2001, and will get some shape in Oct 2001. The Year 2002 will see it in some final shape.

  7. I followed the summit very closely. President Musharraf has acted according to the wishes of the people. He did not act like a typical politician who says something in the meeting and something different to the people. He has explained his viewpoint very clearly to the Indian leaders as well as to the Indian people. May God bless Pakistan!

  8. I personally think that Mr. Musharraf handled himself in the best possible manner.

  9. Musharraf very courageously stood by his words that he endeavored to seek at the talks in New Delhi.

  10. General Musharraf had presented Pakistan’s point of view very courageously without any outcome but I feel that the core issue of Kashmir will not be solved on table.

  11. President Musharraf has no doubt proved better handler of Indian trickster. Well done General!

  12. The summit should be viewed as a good start and not as a victory of one over the another. Mehboob Siddiqui

  13. I am confident that only the present government is in a position to solve this 54-year old dispute (Inshallah).
    Syed Zahid Bukhari

  14. President Pervez Musharraf’s performance in India was at par excellence.
    Aslam Hayat

  15. All in all, the president played well.
    Mohammad Jawad Alam
    Pakistan

  16. Will never get India and Pakistan closer unless good relations are established first, and violence is reduced from both sides.
