After his plethora of proposals on Kashmir over the last two years, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf now says that ‘‘demilitarisation’’ is his ‘‘final resolution’’ of the dispute.

‘‘I have proposed demilitarisation as a...final resolution. Demilitarise Kashmir, give self governance to people of Kashmir with a joint management arrangement on top. This is an idea I am proposing,’’ Musharraf said in a programme on CNBC TV Friday night. ‘‘We could debate and modify the idea but we have to come up with an idea of final settlement of the dispute to the acceptance of India, Pakistan and people of Kashmir. It is for people of Kashmir now to generate the kind of ideas and pressure on the Indian government on some form of a resolution,’’ he said.

The General also lauded Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s recent interactions with Kashmiri groups.
