34 IPRI Factfile take the wind out of the sails of the Islamist militants operating in the region, it is essential that India take a more nuanced approach. The militants justify their violent tactics by pointing towards the brutality of the Indian forces. In the absence of such brutality, instigating violence would lose all justification.

He said education was one of the top priorities of the government and it had taken revolutionary steps for promotion of quality education and improvement in the sector. Mr Sharif said poverty, unemployment, terrorism and extremism could be eliminated through promotion of education and resources were being utilised for the purpose. He said the developed nations made progress by virtue of education, science, technology and modern knowledge. He said young generation would have to play an effective role for the development of the country. Unanimous approval of NFC award was an important step towards national unity and solidarity. The chief minister said scholarships were being given through Punjab Educational Endowment Fund to the talented students facing financial constraints for continuing their studies.

Whither Kashmir? MEANINGFUL DIALOGUE VITAL TO RESOLVE KASHMIR DISPUTE: GILANI Prime Minister Syed Yusuf Raza Gilani Friday said meaningful dialogue is a necessity to resolve the Kashmir dispute in accordance with UN resolutions. The Prime Minister was speaking at a Kashmir Convention here in connection with Kashmir Solidarity Day at Pakistan National Council of the Arts. Pakistan has always emphasized the necessity of a meaningful dialogue to resolve the Kashmir dispute; he said adding Pakistan believes that the Kashmir issue should be resolved in accordance with relevant UN Resolutions. He expressed the government’s resolve to continue extending moral and political support to the people of Kashmir in their just struggle. He reminded that Kashmir dispute is the root cause of tension in South Asia. He said the government and people of Pakistan are in complete solidarity with their Kashmiri brethren. We shall always stand with our Kashmiri brothers and sisters for the realization of their fundamental and inalienable rights. Together we shall succeed. Gilani said for more than 60 years, the people of Kashmir have been waging a valiant struggle for realization of their inalienable right to self-determination. Their right has been recognized by the international community. It stems from international law and has been legitimized by resolutions of the United Nations, he added. The people of Kashmir were among the first to be promised their right to self-determination by the UN. Yet, Kashmir remains an unfinished agenda; he recalled and regretted that unfulfilled promises over the years have taken a heavy toll of the Kashmiri people. They have faced oppression and blatant abuse of human rights. The list of their martyrs continues to grow. Despite all odds, the Kashmiri people have steadfastly continued their struggle for achieving their legitimate rights, he added. He lauded the resolve, determination and faith of the Kashmiris and said violence in Indian-occupied Kashmir emanates from the massive human rights violations perpetrated by Indian occupation forces acting with impunity. These violations have been well documented by international human rights organization. Each household in Indianoccupied Kashmir has a tragedy to narrate.
