Ex-Pak president Musharraf says his govt ‘managed freedom fighters’ in Kashmir

Pakistan’s former ruler General Pervez Musharraf has said his administration ‘managed freedom fighters’ in Kashmir but later realised a political process was needed to negotiate the issue with India, a media report said on Monday.

Musharraf, who served as Pakistan’s president from 2001 to 2008 after he threw out the elected government in a coup in 1999, said his government was able to force India to discuss issues that New Delhi was unwilling to negotiate.

“In my tenure as a military chief and president of the country, we were succeeding. We were able to bring India to the negotiating table and to sort out issues that India was not ready to discuss,” he told Dunya News in an interview.

He said his government was managing freedom fighters in Kashmir, and later they realised that a political process was required to negotiate further with India, the report said.

Musharraf left Pakistan for Dubai in March 2016 , after his name was removed from the Exit Control List.

The 73-year-old said Afghanistan’s intelligence agency, the National Directorate of Security (NDS), was playing into India’s hands and was being used as a tool to facilitate terror groups in Pakistan.

He claimed operation ‘Zarb-e-Azb’ - during which the Pakistan Army claimed it killed thousands of militants - had no shortcomings as it was specifically for North Waziristan.

“This operation cleaned up all the camps and launching pads of terrorist, who were supported by the Indian spy agency with the collaboration of NDS, to destabilise the tribal areas.”

Musharraf said a holistic approach and planning was crucial at the moment to curb terrorism in the country. His possible reference was to a series of deadly terrorist attack in Pakistan this year, particularly the suicide bombing at a famed Sufi shrine in Sindh in which at least 88 people died.

Pakistan has blamed Afghanistan for allowing sanctuaries to terrorist groups targeting Pakistan on their soil.

The former military chief questioned the steps being taken by Pakistan to eliminate the “sleeper cells” active in the country, including the previously peaceful Punjab province.

“What steps are being taken to eliminate these sleeper cells? Punjab has become the stronghold of militancy,” he said, refuting a question that terrorist attacks and terror outfits like the Lashkar-e-Jhangvi existed during his tenure.

“This all started after I stepped down, we had carved out an effective strategy vis-à-vis Kashmir, we were near resolving Kashmir issue with India on a four-point agenda, our policies were successful; America and China were aligning with us.”

On Mumbai attack mastermind Hafiz Saeed’s “house arrest”, Musharraf said the Jamaat-ud-Dawa chief is not a terrorist. He claimed India is after Saeed because his supporters go voluntarily to Kashmir to fight the Indian Army.

Kashmir is disputed territory so yes Mujahiiidin there are freedom fighters against invading forces..

you guys in Pakistan keep jumping up and down (well mostly down!) about disputed territory. India simply doesn't care and they ignore you for most parts. The only time they care is if and when you decide to resurrect cross border terrorism and as of recent times, it is clear the Modi government has chopped of your tails when that happens.

So all the jihadi groups you have in your stables have nowhere to go and have been exploding their wares inside Pakistan. Admit it before it is too late.

Kashmiris are fighting for their freedom from Indian Occupation. To support them is a virtuous thing and we should make no apologies for it. India on the other hand trained bloodthirsty murderers like the LTTE, Mukti Bahini and TTP and then elected a psychotic terrorist to the slot of PM. Shameful.India handles terrorists and encourages terrorism, we assist Kashmiris in their freedom struggle. Well done Musharaff.

Pakistan has a clear history of creating talibans in Afghan, go do some research on this.
Go do some research It was US and all west that supports and created taliban..We were the ally of US ..First say something about US and West who called them equivalent to founding father of US then bring pakistan in equation..Educate yourself in history or the word P does not allow this
 
.
Why to try something else..When K is still alive issue in international forums...How can one leave the support of brother ?
