According to Khurshid Mahmud Kasuri (Musharraf's foreign minister) Musharraf came up with a plan to resolve the Kashmir dispute though it was rejected by India. The plan was:
- Both Pakistan and India will withdraw troops from Kashmir and Kashmir becomes demilitarized
- Kashmiris in both Pakistan and India will move freely between Line of Control
- Indian Kashmir will be given great amounts of autonomy
- A joint supervision mechanism between Indian, Pakistani and Kashmiri leaders
