India,
Pak give a push to peace process
* LoC can’t be final border:
Pervez
* PM rubs in Pak commitment to end terror
By H.K. Dua
New Delhi, April 18
Changed circumstances and a personal
rapport that came to be seen during the last three days in Delhi have
clearly helped Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Pakistan President Pervez
Musharraf give a push to the peace process they have chosen to embark on.
Unlike what happened at Agra four years ago where General Musharraf walked
out of the talks in a huff, he left Delhi today happy at the outcome.
