Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, who
is currently living in exile in the UAE, has said that
it is difficult to control terrorism and end terror
camps operating in his country. In an interview to a private TV news channel,
former Pakistan President expressed concerns
over the rise in militancy in Kashmir and linked it
to the pullout of the US-led coalition forces from
Afghanistan, Musharraf, who had earlier announced that he
would return to Pakistan later this month to take
part in parliamentary elections, warned that
consequences of US troops pullout would be
dangerous for both Pakistan and India. When quizzed about his earlier commitment to
the world that he would not allow Pakistani soil
to be used for anti-India activities, he said that
the situation is fast slipping from hands and it is
growing increasingly difficult to control
insurgency. Its a very difficult situation that we will face..
We are already facing. When this freedom
struggle in Kashmir started in 1989, which you
call insurgency of course, then there were
multiple. There were dozens of Mujahideen
groups which erupted inside Pakistan. Now these volunteers were massive. It was not that
this is one organisation which is immediately
controllable, Musharraf was quoted as saying. Musharraf, 69, has been living in exile in Britain
and the UAE since he resigned as the president in
August 2008, fearing impeachment by
Parliament. He had earlier on a few occasions announced he
would end his exile but postponed the plans over
concerns at his possible arrest in connection with
the 2007 assassination of former Prime Minister
Benazir Bhutto. The current National Assembly or lower house of
Pakistani Parliament will be dissolved on
completion of its five-year term and new
elections will be held within two months. The former army chief who seized power in a
coup in 1999 had said he would face courts on
return and did not care if there was a threat to
his life. In 2011, an anti-terrorism court issued an arrest
warrant for Musharraf in connection with the
assassination of Benazir Bhutto in a bomb blast.
In October 2012, a court issued a warrant for his
arrest over the killing of Baloch leader Akbar
Bugti in a military operation in 2006. Musharraf denies all charges and said he will
defend himself in courts.
