Pakistan Must not be Cowed Down by Indian Threats, Says Musharraf.

God Bless former President, Great Pervez Musharaf, greatest Pakistani leader since Quaid-Azam. Has the Pakistani government cowed down to the Indians by not questioning how 10 men could take hostage India’s biggest city for days? Or is it a testament to the training they recieved, possibly in Pakistan?

Pakistan Must not be Cowed Down by Indian Threats, Says Musharraf

KARACHI - Pakistan should not be cowed down by Indian threats and instead reply in the same coin as aggression against any threat is the best defence and Indian accusations should be strongly rebutted, said former president and army chief Pervez Musharraf.

“I believe and urge Pakistan government to counter Indian threats with aggressive posture instead of going on the defensive,” said Musharraf in an interview with an Urdu daily Express here.

Musharraf, who arrived here four days back, said he would be visiting India next month on a lecture tour during which he would impress upon the people that war hysteria from either side would not solve issues confronting both the countries.

“For the time being I have no intention of entering into politics. I am happy with my present life and will keep myself busy by accepting offers to deliver lectures abroad and my next foreign trip is to India in March,” he said.

The former dictator and strongman who ruled Pakistan for eight years with an iron hand said it was unbelievable that 10 men could take hostage India’s biggest city for days. “Were they terrorists or John Rambo,” he queried.

He said the entire operation could not have been achieved without the physical support of the locals that had never been admitted by the Indian authorities and not pressed by Pakistani officials. “Presently I am enjoying my life and all reports of my ill-health are mere figment of imagination of rumour mongers. For the past four days I have been eating Tikka Kebab and spicy food wherever I am offered by my friends and relatives,” he explained.

Musharraf rejected the notion that under his reign Pakistan gave written or verbal approval or guarantee to United States to carry out drone attacks on its soil.

“I am certain that foreigners and Al Qaeda operatives are actively engaged in tribal areas and action must be taken to eliminate them and that should be done by Pakistan alone”, he added.

On the recent Swat peace accord the former army chief said he had no knowledge of the details of the agreement and that the government must ensure quick and cheap dispensation of justice to the people and not allow militants to take advantage of the situation.

Well he is great man , I respect from my Heart, i consider him the 2nd best leader after Quaid-e-Azam . He gave every thing for the sake of Pakistan , even put his own life on the line & yet People don't recognize him.......... i only feel sorry for those...

In your haste to support Mush and his policies you have forgotten an important point. These terrorists did not take the entire city of Mumbai hostage. It was just a couple of hotels etc. Terrorists hiding behind civilians are not Rambos. They are cowards who deserve the worst fate.
It helps to be reminded of the facts. Mush has a history of distorting facts. I understand that Mush is your role model. Please be reminded of this important characteristic.

India never denied that there was local support to these terrorists. There is a separate thread about this topic.

This shows how incompetent he was. The US government did not deem it necessary to take his permission to launch attack on Pakistan's soil when he was at the helm. This really speaks volumes.

Why is it that most of your leaders try to feign ignorance when confronted with difficult questions. NS feigned that he did not know about Kargil when questioned about it. Must be something that they teach you at school.

This moron should just keep his ugly mouth shut and sip on his whiskey and chew on his cigar. He is lucky that the west bailed him out and hes not facing the wrath of the people, despite being the most disgraced leader of the country.
