Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar has said that the Judicial
Commission would soon visit India regarding the investigation of Mumbai
attacks, adding that the trial against Mumbai attacks accused would further proceed after the visit of Judicial Commission.
In an interview with an Indian TV channel Khar said that Pakistani
government is not trying to slow down the processes of Mumbai attacks
accused trail.
She said that the relations should not be disturbed due to single
issue, adding that Pakistan is facing great damages due to terrorism.
Meanwhile in an exclusive interview to an Indian news agency Hina
Rabbani Khar said: “Hopefully, one day I would like to come to see
South India. I have been told by your people that it is another world
altogether”.
Responding to a question on how curtailing it to be a woman politician in an Islamic country is, she said: “I must confess I have not found it to be curtailing at all. I find it curtailing when too much attention is paid to being a woman, which sometimes takes away from the content and other values that you stand for. Some feel we have to be twice as good. As women politicians, I think we get far too much attention.”
“Interesting comparison, anything between India and Pakistan is a lot of hype, lot of interest; it is historical unless we normalize it to an extent where nobody notices when we meet. I hope to reach that point,” she added.

Meanwhile Central Vice President of Pakistan People’s Party Azad
Kashmir and Member Legislative Assembly Sardar Qamar-uz-Zaman has
termed the Foreign Minister-level dialogue between India and Pakistan
as a good omen and urged that this process should continue without any
interruption to find a lasting solution of Jammu and Kashmir dispute
through peaceful means.
Talking to newsmen in Muzaffarabad on Thursday, he said there should
be a constructive and meaningful engagement between the two countries.
A complex dispute like Jammu and Kashmir cannot be resolved unless
there is a firm and undiluted commitment between India and Pakistan for
its settlement.
He said the dialogue should yield a result to enable Kashmiri people
to attain their right to self-determination through a democratic way. SANA
