Rabbani ready to meet Musharraf

PESHAWAR (Online) May 4 - Burhanuddin Rabbani the deposed president of Afghanistan, continues to await a response to the letter he wrote to Chief Executive General Pervez Musharraf about a month back, Afghan sources here informed this news agency.
The unanswered letter embodied the views of former president and leader of the northern alliance Professor Rabbani on the lingering Afghan conflict, and his observation and suggestions for its early solution.
The letter written to the chief executive termed the Afghan policies of the Pakistani establishment as indifferent and alleged that the foreign policy designed by "Islamic Republic of Pakistanís establishment" had not only resulted in deteriorating mutual relations but also harmed both the countries.
The letter delivered by prominent Afghan leader, Pir Ishaq Gillani, sought the help of the chief executive to play positive role for peace and stability in Afghanistan. But Pakistan government has yet to give response to the Rabbaniís letter.
Rabbani, in his letter lauded the role of Pakistan during Soviet Unionís occupation of Afghanistan. However, he pointed out that after the mujahideen victory and formation of an Islamic government in the war-ravaged country, the Pakistani establishment damaged brotherly relations between the two neighbouring countries.
Rabbani hoped that general, Musharraf would take constructive measures towards bringing the previous policy and instead of extending support to Taliban, would provide the atmosphere of negotiations and real peace to prevent war and ensure stability and harmony in Afghanistan.
Rabbaniís wait, however, continues to date, said the sources, adding that Afghan leader was ready to meet the chief executive to exchange views on a resolution for the Afghan conflict.
