| “ | division of the subcontinent was the biggest blunder in the history of mankind And Nehru And Abdul Kalam Azad Are Responsible For It Bceuase They Rejected That Grouping Formula And Greater Autonomy For Muslim Majority Province Of india If They Accepted It Then Jinnah Never Demanded Separate Pakistan And Jinnah Was Ready For Co-exist Within india | ” |
He believes that the partition divided the Muslims of the subcontinent and made them weaker as a result. Hussain favors peace between India and Pakistan and stated in his 2004 address in India that “India and Pakistan being the two largest in the region, need to demonstrate magnanimity and the necessary political wisdom and desire to truly seek peace. The Confidence Building Measures contemplated to bring the people of both countries closer must be implemented vigorously.” On the issue of Kashmir, Hussain stated that Indo-Pak dialogue should be allowed to “proceed on the basis of mutual adjustment and agreement… It should be clear to all concerned that there can be no military solution to any of the contentious issues, let alone the issue of Kashmir.”
