Musharraf pushes Kashmir proposal
Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf has suggested Pakistan would give up its claim over disputed Kashmir if India accepted his peace proposals.
Gen Musharraf called for a phased withdrawal of troops in the region and self-governance for Kashmiris.
India responded by saying its position was that the map could not be redrawn but borders could be made irrelevant. Both nations claim Kashmir in its entirety. It has sparked two of their three wars since independence in 1947.
Gen Musharraf told NDTV that he had a "four-point solution" to ending the impasse in the disputed region.
