8216;8216;It would have been stupid to expect anything from the General8217;s speech. I8217;d be surprised if you kept any hope.8217;8217;

Lt Gen H Kaul, defence analyst

8216;8216;There was no concession in the speech, no promises and no compromise on Pakistani terrorism. It was just meant to ruin India8217;s name in the world.8217;8217;

Abdul Karim, defence analyst

8216;8216;Pervez Musharraf has invited India so many times to discuss a peaceful solution. India should listen to him so that the people of Kashmir have peace.8217;8217;

Shabbir Shah, Democratic Freedom Party leader

8216;8216;He Musharraf just wants to spread terrorism in Kashmir and India. Wewill continue doing what we have to do.8217;8217;

8216;8216;I have lived in Kashmir more than General Musharraf. If he can show me Hindu terrorists there, I8217;ll be happy.8217;8217;

Omar Abdullah, Minister of State for External Affairs

8216;8216;If the General Musharraf gets as desperate as he sounds, he must realise that the brutal fact is it is 150 million against one billion. So, take your pick.8217;8217;

Natwar Singh, Congress leader

8216;8216;I don8217;t see any difference between what he spoke on January 12 and today. I saw a beleaguered leader addressing his domestic audience and not reflecting world opinion.8217;8217;

Ravi Shankar Prasad, MoS for Coal and Mines

8216;8216;I found the speech too evasive and too general. He did not touch upon any specifics. There was nothing new in the speech.8217;8217;
