Musharraf Harmed Cause of Kashmir the Most: Pakistani Minister

[SR-91]

Former military ruler Pervez Musharraf harmed the cause of Kashmir the most and the issue would have been solved by now if the former president had not overthrown a democratically-elected government in 1999, a Pakistani minister said today.

Musharraf, 71, took over in a coup in 1999 after the Kargil War, of which he is considered as the chief architect, months after the then Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee visited Lahore for talks.

Federal Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid told media yesterday that the military dictator had harmed the Kashmir cause the most.

“Kashmir issue would have been solved by now and Pakistan would not be facing energy crisis and terrorism, had Musharraf not overturned a democratic government in 1999,” said Rashid, referring to the ouster of Nawaz Sharif by Musharraf.

He accused Musharraf of using the ISI intelligence agency to cobble up a political party which he termed as the ‘political party of Aabpara’, a reference to ISI headquarters in capital Islamabad.

To a question, he said that Kashmir was central issue with India and it was discussed during meeting of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif with Indian counterpart Narendra Modi in Ufa, Russia.

Minister forgot to state that the (un)democratic govt. was overturned, while Musharraf's plane was in air and was denied landing.
Pilot statement is available, for a matter of record.

He also forgot to mention, that when people came to knew about sacking of (un)democratic govt. they distributed sweets in Pakistan, until Pakistan ran out of sweets.

Even today, people are waiting for the army to over turn this evil democratic alliance forged in UK.

The minister is such an idiot. Musharraf was in power 8 years ago.

This PMLN govt has done more damage than Musharraf or PPP. The PM of this govt, the 'experienced' third time office holder, does not utter 'Kashmir' word in statements with Indian leadership. He goes to India, does not meet Kashmiri leaders but a steel magnate.

This PMLN govt shows again and again, its not representative of people of Pakistan and hence its mandate is rigged and stolen.
