Yusuf resigned from his position just after Pakistan President Arif Alvi ordered the dissolution of the national assembly.<\/p>\n<p>The formula, in brief, had four steps: First, both India and Pakistan identify regions that require resolution. Second, demilitarise the identified regions which are able to help bring down the amount of violence. Third, introduce self-governance or self-rule within the identified regions.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore the last, have a joint management mechanism with membership consisting of Indians, Pakistanis, and Kashmiris overseeing self-governance and managing subjects common to all or any identified regions that are beyond the scope of self-governance<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/freepresskashmir.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Pakistan-Army-Chief-General-Bajwa-supports-peace-talks-with-India.jpg\" alt=\"Pakistan Army Chief General Bajwa supports peace talks with India | Free Press Kashmir\" \/><br \/>\nHowever, the question is, will this sentiment resonate with Bajwa\u2019s successor too \u2013 he&#8217;s expected to serve in his position until November 2022 \u2013 or is he hoping for an additional extension?<\/p>\n<p>It is noteworthy and praiseworthy that Pakistan\u2019s first National Security Policy (NSP) made by the hybrid government of Imran Khan and General Bajwa emphasizes \u201chuman security\u201d \u2013 meaning the nation\u2019s development and prosperity are priorities rather than traditional defence. Since the military could be a part of the NSP, any new government in Pakistan will abide by the policy, which incorporates peace talks with India.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa seems able to resume talks on Kashmir with India, a process that was interrupted by General Pervez Musharraf\u2019s ouster in 2008.
