New Delhi (IANS): India and Pakistan were very near to a framework agreement on the Kashmir issue through back-channel talks during the Congress-led regime, former Pakistani foreign minister Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri said Wednesday, and suggested that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should appoint a confidant for such talks.

dove", Kasuri said the new governments in India and Pakistan can take forward the framework by giving it a new name-tag. Kasuri, who was Pakistan's foreign minister 2002-07 and is a senior leader of cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan's Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, said he had seen the negotiations on the framework from close quarters and witnessed the exchange of drafts. "It went on for three years," he said.
Kasuri said the framework was such that the leadership on both sides thought they could convince the majority of their people as also vast sections of people in Kashmir. Kasuri said only top military and foreign office authorities from Pakistan
apart from then president Pervez Musharraf were in the know of the framework. "Manmohan Singh was equally secretive. No one wanted a negative spin," he said. Speaking of the Kashmir framework, he said Indians wanted reciprocity on everything and their bottom line was that there would be no change in geographic frontiers. He said Kashmiris did not want their state to be split. According to a published account of the framework agreement, the first step
was to make the Line of Control (LoC) just 'a line on a map'. The second step was to strengthen local selfgovernments on both sides of the LoC. The third step entailed creation of joint or cooperative institutions under the charge of Kashmiri leaders to coordinate policies on matters of common interest. The fourth and final element was 'agreed withdrawal' of troops on both sides.

Washington (IANS): As President Barack Obama mulls executive action to give relief from deportation to some of the 11.2 million illegal immigrants in the US, a new report said about 450,000 of them are from India. In fact, India is the fourth top source country of unauthorised immigrants after top-ranked Mexico, according to the report based on the 2012 census, released Tuesday by the Pew Research Centre, a

Washington think tank. Ranking second, with considerably fewer unauthorised immigrants than Mexico, is El Salvador (675,000 in 2012). It is followed by Guatemala (525,000), India (450,000), Honduras (350,000), China (300,000) and the Philippines (200,000). Republican leaders, who will control both houses of Congress next year as a result of the November elections, have warned Obama that any executive
action would torpedo the chances for a bipartisan immigration reform bill. Among the groups widely thought to be under consideration for relief from deportation are long-time US residents with US-born children, the report noted. Mexicans are the largest national origin group in 36 of America's 50 states. India is the largest birth country of unauthorised immigrants in New Hampshire, the report said. New Jersey had the
biggest gain in between 2009 and 2012, jumping 75,000 to 525,000 as many immigrants from India and Ecuador crossed illegally into the state. It was followed by Florida, increasing 50,000 to 925,000. Pennsylvania was third, rising 30,000 to 170,000. It saw increases from several regions including Honduras, India and the Dominican Republic. The number of unauthorised immigrants in the US

The number of unauthorised immigrants peaked in 2007 at 12.2 million, when this group was four percent of the US population.
