"Mr President, as steps are being taken in the Middle East with the road map towards peace, I would like to draw the attention of the House to the welcome steps being made towards the same process in Kashmir and the recent steps taken by the governments of India and Pakistan in this regard.
Noting, though, the visit of Richard Armitage, the US Deputy Secretary of State, to that area, I would like to call on you to urge the institutions of the Union to become involved in this process too, just as we are in the Middle East through the quartet - perhaps we can invent something of a similar kind for Kashmir. Above all, the Kashmiri people should be involved in this process.
Lastly I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this issue was addressed in the Conference of Presidents a few months ago when, on behalf of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, Human Rights, Common Security and Defence Policy, it was suggested that an
delegation should go to Afghanistan. That suggestion was approved, but no delegation was approved for Kashmir. Could I ask you please to put that back on the agenda of the Conference of Presidents this week, so that we can take a decision and also have an
delegation to Kashmir."@en1
