Friendship with India only possible on equal terms: Musharraf

December 10, 2014 00:49

Pakistan's former military ruler Pervez Musharraf has said that friendship with India could only be "possible on equal terms" without sacrificing the country's self-respect.

"People think I don't want friendship with India. It is not like that. Relations with India were good in my tenure," Musharraf said. "We were close to resolving major disputes pertaining to Kashmir, Sir Creek and water treaty," he said in an interview to Samaa TV channel.

But he said that "his stance is clear that friendship with India is only possible on equal terms and with both countries respecting each other." When reminded that he masterminded the Kargil operation, Musharraf admitted it did happen but pointed out that India had also played its role in creating Bangladesh.

"They also undertook such operations so Kargil also happened," he stated.
