Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf paid his respect to the man who had started the struggle to achieve a breakthrough to improve the relationship between India and Pakistan by signing a statement with Mr Manmohan Singh, India’s current leader.

Relations between the two fighting neighbours had vastly changed during the past four years. Now as the second bus had arrived safely in Muzaffarabad, People on both sides of the control line are optimistic that there might be a solution to a half a century dispute possible. Both countries, which are nuclear powers, have fought two wars over Kashmir.
And after the next morning, when passengers arrived Muzaffarabad from Srinagar, passengers are trying to control their excitement and happiness to see their relatives on this side of the control line.

Altaf Hussain Baig one of the passengers is still surprised over media and official attention they got.

“I wish last night would never end,” he said. “We sat up till two o’clock in the morning, talking about the last 20 years.”
He and some other 20 passengers were invited to a reception at the State Guest House by the prime minister of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.

Passengers are aware of the fact that they had made history. There were tears of reunions and the long years of not seeing their loved ones.
But there are also some who are against this idea of bus service. Head of the secular Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front, Amanullah Khan said “The bus service is a slow-acting poison for the freedom movement.”
If the dispute between India and Pakistan can be resolved over Kashmir, it could well be the one of the best holiday places on earth. It will attract travellers from around the world and tourism can be a great industry of the region, which could bring prosperity and wealth for its people who had suffered since past 50 years.
