SRINAGAR: Former Chief Minister Dr Farooq Abdullah has revealed that in 2001, the Pakistani government turned down Vajpayees offer, but the current one led by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is willing to accept it.
In an interview to a New Delhi based newspaper, NC leader stated, Today, they (Pakistanis) are ready to accept that (Vajpayees offer) with one provision-that there should be autonomy here and they (Pakistani government) will do the same there.
He said that he had spoken to Pakistans top people, who, according to him, have reconciled with accepting Indias control over one half of Kashmir while Pakistan has the other half.
On the 2001 Agra Summit, Abdullah said nobody is talking about what was decided at the Agra Summit or why it broke up. The only thing we know from Musharraf at that time and Khurshid Kasuri is that they had nearly settled the situation.
