Pakistan's former military dictator Gen Pervez Musharraf has said he believes in a tit-for-tat policy on all fronts and claimed that Kargil conflict was in response to India's role in the creation of Bangladesh.

The 71-year-old former president, who masterminded the Kargil conflict in 1999 and ruled over Pakistan for nine years, said that India had played role in creating Bangladesh and trying to seize Siachen.

"They also undertook such operations so Kargil also happened," he told Samaa TV channel.

"I believed in a tit-for-tat policy on all fronts," said Musharraf, who was the chief of the Pakistani army during the Kargil conflict in 1999. Musharraf, who is currently facing treason charges, said that "friendship with India is only possible on equal terms and with both countries respecting each other."
