TASHKENT PACT
Protests In Pakistan (N.Z.P. A.-Reuter —Copyright) KARACHI, Jan. 17. The English-language morning newspaper “Dawn” said today that “certain elements” in India were representing the Tashkent declaration between India and Pakistan as a no-war-cum-status-quo pact. But the paper’s Rawalpindi correspondent, quoting competent quarters in the capital, said this was not sb. The sources said this view was contrary to both the letter and spirit of the declaration which, they said, was designed chiefly to create an atmosphere and framework for a peaceful and honourable solution of the Kashmir dispute. The sources were quoted as stating that Kashmir was the dominant theme of the Tashkent talks which sign-posted future steps to promote a lasting peace between India and Pakistan through the solution of the basic problem confronting them. Protest processions against the agreement have been held in about 10 West Pakistan cities.
Yesterday six political and student leaders were arrested in Lahore for attempting to hold a public meeting denouncing the agreement.
