SachDan Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 WASHINGTON: Former military ruler Pervez Musharraf has admitted that Pakistan had trained underground militant groups to fight in Kashmir, the first such admission by a top leader of the country. Musharraf's candid remarks came days after he announced his return to active politics from London where he has been living in self-imposed exile. "They (underground militant groups to fight against India in Kashmir) were indeed formed," Musharraf told German magazine Der Spiegel in an interview. Asked why did Pakistan train militant underground groups to fight India in Kashmir, the former President said Nawaz Sharif's apathy to the Kashmir issue was one of the reasons, so was the fact that the world had turned a blind eye to the dispute. "Yes, it is the right of any country to promote its own interests... when India is not prepared to discuss Kashmir at the United Nations and is not prepared to resolve the dispute in a peaceful manner," Musharraf claimed. "The ( Nawaz Sharif) government turned a blind eye because they wanted India to discuss Kashmir," he said. Musharraf indicated he had no regrets for the Kargil intrusion, that led to an armed conflict with India in 1999, and argued that each country had a right to promote its national interest. Musharraf slammed the international community, particularly the West, for persistently ignoring the Kashmir issue, and for singling out Pakistan for all blames. "The West was ignoring the resolution of the Kashmir issue, which is the core issue of Pakistan. We expected the West -- especially the United States and important countries like Germany -- to resolve the Kashmir issue. Has Germany done that?" the former Pakistan military ruler asked. Musharraf launched his political party the All Pakistan Muslim League in London and announced his intention to contest the 2013 election. "The West blames Pakistan for everything. Nobody asks the Indian prime minister, why did you arm your country with a nuclear weapon? Why are you killing innocent civilians in Kashmir? Nobody was bothered that Pakistan got split in 1971 because of India's military backing for Bangladesh. The United States and Germany gave statements, but they didn't mean anything," he said. Musharraf, who overthrew Sharif's government in a bloodless coup in 1999, had also as Army chief presided over the Kargil misadventure that had threatened to scale up into a full-fledged war between India and Pakistan. Musharraf charged the international community of courting India for strategic deals, while treating Pakistan as a rogue state. "Everybody is interested in strategic deals with India, but Pakistan is always seen as the rogue," Musharraf said. The former Pakistan ruler also said the worst blunder of the US would be to quit in Afghanistan without winning. "Then militancy will prevail not only in Pakistan, India and Kashmir, but perhaps also in Europe, the United Kingdom and in the United States. That's my belief," he said. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/pakistan/We-trained-militant-groups-against-India-admits-Musharraf/articleshow/6690676.cms
someone Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Wonder what our public has to say now, still we do love Pakistan and invite them unneccesarily to our tv shows and talk about brotherly love. Afterall, this is a ex-president who talked about friendship with India during his time and now tells his true feelings. We really never learn, another terrosist attack, again these people will go back to their home and again few months later we invite them back.

Musharraf has been pressurized by America for making such unfounded unbelievable statements.
ViruRulez Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Not surprising at all. The former president and army chief of a terrorist country admitting that they are indeed involved in state terrorism.

achilles Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Finally, the truth has been spoken. Skeptics would reply to this development saying - "Yes. And the world is round".
kabira Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 LOL @ his comments about 1971. Dude we only interfered to save human lifes, your army had already killed million civilans.
gs Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 No sh.t Sherlock! You just admitted something world already didnt know!
yoda Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 Wonder what guys like Pioneer have to say after claiming that Pakistani Establishment is clean and just a few minor bad apples are ruining their country's image. This country is a terrorist country to the core. The only way for India is to keep rising economically and leave this joke of a nation behind just burning.
veer Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 LOL @ his comments about 1971. Dude we only interfered to save human lifes' date=' your army had already killed million civilans.[/quote'] exactly.. these guys are living on some different planet.. with different common sense.. god damn how can they be so different when they were part of India just a few decades back.. ohh nevermind.. the mullahs are their teachers..
EnterTheVoid Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 "Everybody is interested in strategic deals with India, but Pakistan is always seen as the rogue," Musharraf said. Jealous much ?
EnterTheVoid Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 but did u notice who is to be blamed for this ? Its everybody except pakistan .. its US ' date=' UK ... and India but pakistan is still masoom[/quote'] Nutter even blames Germany :hysterical: Even funnier: SPIEGEL: Why do you believe that Pakistanis are keenly awaiting your political comeback? Musharraf: I am not living a hermit's life, I meet people here and in Dubai and receive accurate feedback. I launched my Facebook page eight months ago and today I have more than 315,000 fans. LOL.
niceguy_789 Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 I got shocks when I heard such low level of stupidity as musharaf thinks it is alright to attack another nation behind their backs just because they are ignoring his country. Musharraf launched his political party the All Pakistan Muslim League in London and announced his intention to contest the 2013 election. I don't know where they get names like these, its so racist too. I am trying to understand his intention for creating a party in England because his admission was right after his party was launched. So this guy starts a party in England with Pakistan's name, just so he can try to get England to help Pakistan resolve the Kashmir issue by creating more terrorists.
Pioneer Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Wonder what guys like Pioneer have to say after claiming that Pakistani Establishment is clean and just a few minor bad apples are ruining their country's image. This country is a terrorist country to the core. The only way for India is to keep rising economically and leave this joke of a nation behind just burning. Hey whatsup, just want to give my views. I never said the establishment is clean, I always believed that at some point Pakistan did train militants to fight in Kashmir. Don't tell me India has never messed around Pakistan for their own interests. Anyways, I believe Pakistan stopped that in recent times, Musharraf could be talking about any time in particular ( btw a very stupid statement to make on his part). When you people say terrorist country, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean people with beards and ak47's selling food and walking around? Do you mean every Pakistani has a terrorist mind? Do you just say that without knowing what exactly you mean? I just want to know For you sending militants into Kashmir is considered terrorism ( mind you I believe the killing of any innocent human being is terrorism, don't get me wrong) but to many others it could be the right thing to do. I don't want any fights online, it is a waste of time, and I feel you people are using too much energy in hating Pakistan. Do what you say, leave the nation, whether it burns or not is an entirely different matter.
