ISLAMABAD: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has said that the October 8 earthquake is a "lifetime opportunity" to resolve the Kashmir "dispute."

In an interview here to the BBC, Gen. Musharraf maintained that it was necessary to identify exactly "what is Kashmir,' then demilitarise the identified region, take all the soldiers out and then give self-government to the people in the region.

"I have always believed there is an opportunity of a lifetime to solve the dispute. Now the disaster has struck, I think we should give it deeper thought and resolve the dispute once and for all," he said in response to a question on the future of Kashmir.
