Barack Obama India trip: Pervez Musharraf disappointed Barack Obama not in Pakistan ​

Pakistan's former president Pervez Musharraf on Friday voiced disappointment that US President Barack Obama was not stopping in his country on the sidelines of his maiden visit to India.

"I would take it as a disappointment, yes, indeed," Mr Musharraf, a military leader who stepped down in 2008, told MSNBC television.

Mr Musharraf also criticised Mr Obama for not speaking about Kashmir, the Himalayan region disputed between Pakistan and India, saying: "It doesn't resonate well with the people of Pakistan."

"They take it that the United States or the president of the United States is not that concerned about Pakistan's own sensitivities and interests," he said.

Mr Obama was en route on Friday for Mumbai and New Delhi on a trip aimed at convincing India that he wants to push ahead relations between the world's two largest democracies after an early focus on Pakistan and China.

For many US policy-makers, it would be unthinkable for Mr Obama to visit Pakistan on the sidelines of the long-promoted trip as Mr Obama is hoping to show India that he sees it as a global power and not simply as a regional player.

But Mr Obama has a delicate balancing act as he has also tried to convince Pakistan that he sees the country as more than simply a conduit into Afghanistan for war operations.

Ahead of the India trip, Mr Obama invited Mr Musharraf's civilian successor, President Asif Ali Zardari, for a future visit to Washington and announced that he would travel to Pakistan next year.

The United States has tried to dent Pakistan's rampant anti-Americanism by last year approving a 7.5 billion-dollar aid package aimed at building schools, infrastructure and democratic institutions.

Last month, the Obama administration also proposed an additional two billion dollars for Pakistan in military assistance, despite misgivings in India.

T

hey take it that the United States or the president of the United States is not that concerned about Pakistan's own sensitivities and interests,"

They'll get over it Mr. Musharraf. Perhaps Pakistanis "sensitivities and interests are more concerned with creating safe and prosperous society rather than the travel itinerary of an American president? it could happen.

Musharraf is not Pakistan's official spokesperson.

Obama landed in India
PAKFA

Musharraf is not crying over the fact that Obama has landed in India.

Obama avoids mentioning Pakistan
Fighter488

Musharraf is not ruing the fact that Obama avoided mentioning Pakistan.

I am surprised why Mushy's disappointed. BO already invited Pakistani president to Washington as a compensation to his visit here in India. What's the disappointment for?

His trip is mainly for economic, trade and business purposes to expand Indian investment in US companies, create joint ventures and ease trading tariffs and regulations that will enable even better trade; not to mention creating jobs in US based on this. Pakistan could have welcomed the man anytime if this was their intention.

@frankenstein:a humble opinion,if you don't like obama threads then stay out of them

 

[Masterchief]

Obama will not ask pakistan for an invitation,they will have to invite him but given the present security risks,pakistan most likely would not invite him in near future

 

[abrahams]

well i guess he is disaapointed cos i guess until today whenever a us president visited india he also had his foot in pakistan... but not this time...

Its the best thing that has happened to Pakistan lately. I hope these American bastards stay away for ever, Even better if they put Pakistan under some/all kind of senctions.

Their company and wealth always strengthens our traitors their scorn and distance make us self reliant and strengthens our patriots. I'll always pick later.

I guess this trip is focussed on coutries where he could sell things and making some money for his country, he might visit the region again when he would go around paying courtries for some services.
