No comparisons with India, says Musharraf
Daily Times Monitor
LAHORE: Pakistan should not compare itself to India because both countries have peculiar characteristics and each has its own strengths and weaknesses, said President Pervez Musharraf. In an interview with TVONE, which aired on Saturday, the president said that Pakistan had gained in stature in terms of its image in the comity of nations and its role in international politics cannot be ignored.
He said that the government and the people of Pakistan believed in an independent Palestinian state and that Pakistan would review its policy towards Israel if the Middle East peace process moved in a positive direction. He said that the world had realised that addressing the resentment, which was the root cause of terrorism, was the best way to fight terror on a global scale, adding that the Palestinian issue was the primary cause of terrorism in the Middle East.
The president said that some elements in Afghanistan were deliberately ignoring the facts to save themselves. He advised the Afghan government to follow the precedent which Pakistan had set in its policy on North Waziristan.
