Pakistan Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali said that both India and Pakistan will have to make "sacrifices" to resolve the Kashmir issue.
"We cannot leave things for future. We have to decide. For this both sides would have to make sacrifices. Without this issues cannot be resolved, Jamali said in a BBC programme Sunday night.
"The core issue is Kashmir. Well, India occupies the larger territory of Kashmir, and it has to make concessions. We have to ask for concessions for the Kashmiris from India," he added.
Without spelling out what sort of concessions he was expecting, Jamali said "We are watching for how many concessions is India ready."
When a questioner reminded him about his statement that India would have to make concessions, Jamali said: "Both sides would have to make sacrifices. And in this, if the big country makes a concession of say one hundred rupees, the smaller one can also make a concession of a rupee and a half. But both sides would have to make sacrifices."
Asked specifically which were the
concrete steps that would improve relations between the two countries,
the Pakistani leader said the first one has already been taken, that the
process of dialogue has begun after two years. "I think that this is a
big breakthrough."
