Pakistan urges India to withdraw troops

Pakistan today urged India to withdraw troops from its part of divided Kashmir, saying any such move by New Delhi would have a “very positive impact” on the peace process between the two nations.

The remarks by Foreign Ministry spokesman Jalil Abbas Jilani came days after Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf met with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi, and the two leaders declared the peace process, begun a year-and-a-half ago, was “irreversible.”
