Build relations with Israel to counter India: Musharraf

Listen

DUBAI: Former President General (retd) Pervez Musharraf has stated that the country’s situation is very much favourable for his return to Pakistan.

During a press conference here Friday, Musharraf hinted at making relations with Israel to counter India. Mentioning his initiatives for making contacts with Israeli leadership with the help of Turkey in 2005, the former army chief said that Israeli leadership had responded within 24 hours of his meeting’s offer. He assumed that Israel wants to create better relations with Pakistan.

Speaking with the media in Dubai almost after nine months, the former president said with a smiling face that almost half of his cabinet ministers including law minister and attorney general are in the current government’s cabinet. Although, he said that he would not expect from them to plead his cases.

Referring to the current India-Pakistan tension, the former army chief said that India could do surgical strike attacks on Pakistan along the Line of Control (LoC) as they have advantage at many places there. “But Pakistan should get ready for such strikes and make a plan to counter it,” he added. He believed that India needed extra army for surgical strikes in Kashmir from its other borders.

Responding to fear of nuclear war between Pakistan and India, he said that nuclear war is not a simple warfare and should be avoided. Giving an example of nuclear strike, the former army commando said that India can drop 20 bombs on Pakistan and destroy the country if we dropped one on India. “So, we have to drop 50 bombs to completely destroy India,” he reiterated the example. The former general said that the nuclear warfare is very sensitive issue and it is only for deterrence.

Recalling his meeting with political leaders of the country, the former president revealed that many political leaders used to talk so much in favour of Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) but now they don’t. He anxiously feared the fallout of the current government and the failure of third political force in the country in which case the two political parties (PPP and PMLN) could reemerge. “So, the All Pakistan Muslim League (APML) would not be part of any political destabilisation movement,” he revealed. The APML founder said that any such movement would not be in the favour of the country.

Regarding the current Afghan peace talks, the former president Pervez Musharraf said that Taliban can reemerge and would be leading force to rule Afghanistan if the United States (US) forces leave the region. He also feared the proxy war in the region due to multi-polar division in war-torn Afghanistan.

Musharraf said that Prime Minister Imran Khan has been still learning the leadership as it is not a piece of cake. He advised the premier to perform with team work. The former president said that the process of accountability should be moved forward speedily.

The founder of the APML also announced Hidayatullah Khaisgee as the new chairman of the party as he is currently not feeling well he showed his confidence on general secretary of the APML Mehreen Adam Malik.

[Ghareeb_Da_Baal]

Why is he always talking? Hasnt he already revealed so many state secrets? This mofo is old a **** and instead of taking care of his health & spend time with his great grand kids he wants to stay relevant. Dude, go spend ur not so hard earned dollars someplace and leave Pak to its rulers.

 

[IceCold]

He is not wrong actually. We have no beef with Israel other than a moral one, and we havent been able to help the Palestinian cause by not accepting Israel. On top of that due to this hostility we give India the ammunition to be used against us.

 

[IFB]

I always thought he was some kinda nationalist until I recently saw a video of him begging US senators to support him to come to power...he said under his rule poverty has come down in pakistan this much...the senator told him right in the face "i dont care"...i think it was right after OBL raid if i remember correctly...i thought to myself with leaders like that who needs enemies...poor and corrupt leadership is a huge problem in this side of the border as well...all it takes is for a guy to shout slogans that people want to hear and some cash during elections...the corrupt people of india will vote for that guy...at least in my state its the situation....then they will later cry when the essential services to the common man becomes expensive and they cry crocodile tears blaming the same guys they got their cash from...pakistani and indian aam aadhmi needs a *** whooping like they have never received before to make them see through the smoke...i think thats the only way they will change.

 

[litman]

you have already done enough damage to this country.

 

[Lincoln]

This man sold Pakistan to USA just so that he can stay in power, and he's trying to do the same! What a shame.

He is not wrong actually. We have no beef with Israel other than a moral one, and we havent been able to help the Palestinian cause by not accepting Israel. On top of that due to this hostility we give India the ammunition to be used against us.

We do have beef with Israel once you realize that their intelligence agency and armed forces attempted to sabotage Pakistan's nuclear program, both, in 1980's as well as at the very last second in 1998, however India denied them airspace and ground due to fear of heavy retaliation by Pakistan. They did this with Iraq, and they tried to do same with Pakistan but failed. There's also a reason why one of their great leaders in the past termed Pakistan as the only and the most dangerous enemy, they stick by it.

Then why in-direct route? why dont just accept supremacy of India and become another Bangladesh, forget Kashmir and become a good guy?

Pathetic idea ...

We are an ideological country ... If someone ask Israel that you ablosih judiasim and religion out of your existence and give equal representation to muslims ... Will they accept that ?

The sole purpose of Israel is establish judiasim center and the sole purpose of Judiasim is to form greater Israel from where they can rule the world ... How the hell we can have good relationship with Israel after nowing all the future plans ...

 

[Yaseen1]

this slave mentality of musharaf has already damaged us alot in war on terror.He should shut up his mouth now as he has already damaged Pakistan alot.

 

[Mugen]

I may have had some respect for him, but we are in such a mess partly because he let Nawaz go.

I am aware of this but do you know long before that you became a party to their conflict when you sent your pilots during the Arab Israel war. Lets not cry wolf here when we initiated it.

Then why in-direct route? why dont just accept supremacy of India and become another Bangladesh, forget Kashmir and become a good guy?

You already accepted their supremacy when you accept them despite the fact that they were the reason Pakistan broke, sponsored terrorism inside our territory killings thousands of Pakistanis, killed hundreds of thousand of Kashmirs and yet despite all of this none of the gaiarat birigade never objected to having diplomatic relations with India.

 

[S Hussain]

No to Israel

 

[valkyr_96]

I thought he was not feeling well and was about to die?

Sir kindly correct history ... we never accept Kashmir as part of India ... We never accepted the government of Jammu Kashmir ... Jammu Kashmir has its own separate administration to whom we never accept ...

Similar is the treatment of Azad Kashmir's Prime minister by India ...

 

[BHarwana]

Musharraf is a smart man and had always made logical decision. His biggest problem is that he totally rejects emotions. Some thing he needs to remember is that Pakistan is currently democracy and in democracy things happen as people wish not as leaders wish. To weaken India his advice is good but the downside is that people will turn against this decision and will result in a greater loss plus Israel is as much enemy as india. So relation with Israel is not a logical decision as well. You have to weigh everything here. Gen mushi only thinks one-sided not with open mind. He has to anticipate whole decision and currently the bigger threat is not conventional war but hybrid war and relation with Israel will damage us more there.

 

[Reichsmarschall]

Pathetic why would a nation 200 million strong need help from nation of 8 millions?
