nextpage - Next Page Link shows same posts on custom template

I have a Page, with Custom Page Template to display 6 "Posts" with a specific category on that page.

I have tried:

<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_posts_link('&laquo; Previous Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php next_posts_link('Next Entries &raquo;','') ?></div>
</div>

But it shows same posts and not other posts, however the URL changes to page/1/ page/2 and so on.

What do i intend to have:

I want to have Next link to be displayed on the template and when it is clicked, the next set of Posts with same Category should load.

I tried to google for a solution can stumbled upon this post: / the solution used here is deprecated.

It looks like you're missing the "$paged" variable. This controls the pagination, along with the "posts_per_page" option you have set.

Please see the following amended PasteBin: http://pastebin/U4teTA0F

This ensures that the correct page is set when using "/page/2". "/page/3", etc.

Code:

<div id="blogposts">

    <?php
        global $paged;
        $catquery = new WP_Query( 'cat=1&posts_per_page=6&paged=' . $paged );
        while($catquery->have_posts()) : $catquery->the_post();
    ?>
        <ul>
            <div id="post" style="max-width:400px;height:410px;border:solid thin red;   float:left;margin: 70px 30px 35px;">
            <p style="font-weight: bolder;"><?php the_time(get_option('date_format')); ?></p><h3 style="max-width: 100%; max-height: 12%; overflow: hidden;" ><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
            <?php the_post_thumbnail(array(350,250)); // Crop 300 by 200 px image?> 
            <div id="para" style="width=350 height=233"><p style="margin: 4px 15px 9px 17px; max-width: 90%; max-height: 64px; overflow: hidden;"><?php the_excerpt(); ?><?php do_action( 'addthis_widget' ); ?></p>


            </div>
        </ul>
        <?php endwhile; ?>

</div>
<?php global $paged; query_posts('paged='.$paged);?>
<div class="clear"></div>   
<div class="navigation"><p><?php posts_nav_link(); ?></p></div>     

</div>
