Pakistan needs to incite those fighting in Kashmir: Musharraf
18 Oct 2014 4:28 AM IST
In the wilderness for a long time, former military ruler General Pervez Musharraf has made an anti-India rant by saying that Pakistan needs to ‘incite’ those ‘fighting’ in Kashmir.
‘We have source (in Kashmir) besides the (Pakistan) army... People in Kashmir are fighting against (India). We just need to incite them,’ the 71-year-old retired general, who is currently on
bail in a treason case, told a TV channel.
Musharraf, who had grabbed power in 1999 soon after the Kargil conflict, said the army is ready for war (with India) and lakhs of people in Pakistan are willing to go and fight for Kashmir. India should not be under the illusion that Pakistan will not hit back, he added.
‘In Kashmir, we can fight with the (Indian) army from both the front and back...We are Muslims. We will not show the other cheek when we are slapped. We can respond tit for tat,’ he said, while commenting on the recent firing along the Line of Control and International Border.
