India wants to resolve Kashmir issue through dialogue: Manmohan

Manmohan said that he was approaching new peace talks with Pakistan with an open mind. New Delhi and Islamabad announced on February 10 that they would resume full peace talks which were suspended more than two years ago after Islamist gunmen from Pakistan attacked Indias financial capital Mumbai. Indian Kashmir last year saw some of its biggest protests against Indian rule, leaving more than 110 protesters dead, mostly in police firings on stone-throwing young men.This subcontinent of ours will not realise its full development potential unless relations between India and Pakistan are normalised, Singh said. India and Pakistan embarked on a formal peace dialogue in 2004, which continued until the rupture caused by the Mumbai attacks, blamed by India on Pakistan-based militants.
