PDP hopes regime change in Pak will accelerate peace process

The Peoples Democratic Party today expressed hope that with a regime change in Pakistan, the peace process with Islamabad will receive a boost.
"The decisive electoral verdict in Pakistan is bound to yield rich dividends for both the countries. We hope that the Indo-Pak peace process will gain pace again," PDP patron Mufti Mohammad Sayeed said.
Pakistan's PM-designate Nawaz Sharif has always been a supporter of improving ties with India, Sayeed said, making a particular reference of the historic Lahore bus service started during Sharif' tenure in 1999.
Strengthening of democracy in Pakistan has provided an opportunity to take some "bold initiatives" towards finding the resolution of all issues including Kashmir, he observed.

Sayeed also praised voters of Pakistan for turning up in large numbers to bring about a decisive change in the country despite all the threats.
