Pakistan should 'counter threaten' India: Musharraf

October 01, 2016 22:43

Former Pakistan army chief Pervez Musharraf, who was the architect of Pakistan's Kargil aggression in 1999, has said he would have counter-threatened India in response to the strong statements by Indian leaders in the aftermath of the Uri terror attack.

"I would be counter-threatening India," Musharraf said in response to a question.

The former Pakistani military dictator was referring to the statements made by Indian leaders and military officials after the Uri terror attack on September 18.

Asked about his suggestion of "counter-threatening", Musharraf said, "Yes, because they are threatening us that they are going to strike us at the time and place of their choosing. Now, this has been said by nobody less than Prime Minister, Defence Minister and the military general, the director general military operations. This is a very serious matter."
