Kashmiri Pandits want govt
to learn lessons from Agra

Kashmiri Pandits on Tuesday blamed Pakistan for the breakdown of the Agra summit talks and asked New Delhi to "learn lessons" from it and "revise" its policy towards Islamabad and separatists.

"Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf repeatedly said he had come to India with an open mind. But post-summit, it appears he had come here with an empty mind and closed outlook," said Ramesh Manvati, spokesman of the Joint Working Council of Panun Kashmir and Panun Kashmir Movement.

Appreciating the Indian government's stand on Kashmir and cross-border terrorism, he said Pakistan's approach was not "pragmatic."

"We had expected that good sense would prevail on Pakistan. But it was not so," he said, adding the government must understand the ground realities and deal sternly with extremist elements.
