In an interview with a private TV channel, the former military dictator said Mian Nawaz Sharif
was opposed to nuclear tests and these were carried out under pressure of institutions.
He also referred to the PML-N chief’s claim that Kashmir issue was nearly resolved during the Indian Prime Minister AB Vajpayee’s visit to Pakistan and said that that there was not a single world about Kashmir in the joint statement issued at the end of the Indian leader’s visit. He described Nawaz Sharif as the biggest enemy of Kashmiris and said that he in fact sold out Kashmir and now by speaking lies, he is trying to muster support.
Musharraf said Pakistan was in worst type of economic condition during the days of Nawaz Sharif while he (Nawaz) now talks of country making great progress during his rule.
He said it is beyond one’s comprehension how bin Laden stayed in Abbottabad for five years. He said the drone attacks were damaging the sovereignty of Pakistan and a way out will have to be found.
The former army chief said it is not appropriate to remain silent while the Pakistan Army was being criticised. He said army is a well organised institution but there could be some extremist elements at the lower level.
He regretted that while the country suffered the most in the war on terror, it is being made target of criticism and threatened.
Musharraf said terrorist attack at PNS Mehran base was a security failure which must be investigated.
In reply to a question, Musharraf said he cared for the Sharif family more than Nawaz Sharif. He reminded that he secured permission from Saudi Arabia for treatment abroad of Shahbaz Sharif when he fell ill.
He said whatever Nawaz Sharif says about him (Musharraf) is nothing but a bundle of lies. He said he failed to understand the problems of Nawaz Sharif and said that he put behind the bars Najam Sethi and Husain Haqqani and he (Musharraf) got them released
