Replying to a question about UNSC resolutions on Kashmir, Musharraf told a press conference that, "Pakistan is flexible on this to the extent that we are prepared to go beyond them, not unilaterally but bilaterally."

"If we both (India and Pakistan) were a step away from our stated positions, Pakistan is also prepared to leave its stated position on the UN resolution," he said, adding that at present, however, Islamabad's position remains as it was.

Musharraf said the charges of human rights violation in Kashmir and cross-border terrorism have to be dealt with simultaneously as India and Pakistan move towards conflict resolution.
