London: Former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf has admitted that militancy in Kashmir was actually fathered in Pakistan way back in 1989 and the process of fanning insurgency in the region was still continuing.
Addressing a meeting on the subject of ‘Leadership’ at the House of Lords committee here earlier this week, Musharraf said Kashmiri Mujahideen groups, that first came to the scene twenty years ago, enjoyed great support in Pakistan and the case is similar even now.
"The element of Kashmiri Mujahedeen is very much important in this scenario. Kashmir freedom struggle erupted in 1989 it has been going on for the last twenty years. And in this there were a dozen Mujahedeen groups which erupted in Pakistan, which created great public support for Mujahedeen groups in Kashmir and it continues even now because the issue remains unresolved," Musharraf said.
Musharraf, who is currently in London on an unannounced exile, described the long pending Kashmir issue as the core of the India-Pakistan age-old confrontation.
He stressed that until both countries resolve the issue amicably, it is difficult to establish peace and prosperity in the region.
"Kashmir is the core issue and without resolution of this imbroglio amicably, India and Pakistan can’t enjoy cordial and normal relations as neighbours. UN resolutions to this effect are intact and effective unless both the parties abandon them and seek a new dimension," Musharraf said.
Musharraf also said that a sense of 'alienation' is fast creeping into Muslim youths in India, which, he said, is the prime reason for the rapidly expanding 'Muslim extremism' in that country.
"The Muslim extremism in India, I must quote, is spreading very strongly in the youth because of their sense of alienation, a sense on unequal to equal to the Muslims therefore they are frustrated. Having said all of this about Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir and India the complexity increases, because there is a linkage in all of this," the former general said.

Could Zeenews send me the FULL text of Musharraf`s address at the House of Lords? I think it was not an address to the full House of Lords, but some selected (mostly Muslim) members of House of Lords in one of its chambers. I would like to study each word of his address. Thanks and best regards, K B Kale

Bravo, Petrus! Just one correction! Hindus do care, but they see no viable alternative since they were let down by BJP which called itself a Hindu religious Party, but diluted its staunch Hindu stance for the sake of power. The demolishment of Babri Masjid was of no consequence because during the following five years, they collected bricks, but never used them. With the admission of Najma Heptullah and even Shahrukh Khan, they gave all wrong signals. If there is an Hindu alternative to Congress, Hindus will unite and vote them into power and jettison Congress and its despicable votebank politics.

If Kashmir is solved, then Pakistan will start demanding Kerala and all places in India where Muslims are in majority. This monster, Pakistan, controlled by the Maulvis, will never generate peace. Only if the Pakis get rid of these Mullahs, there is a slight chance for peace. But who can do that? Not even India, for India is strenghtening the Maulvis and their Madrasas here with billions of rupees. Last budget just increased the amount for it. On the other hand Indian government has taken over the management of many Hindu shrines and uses the money to fund Christian/Islamic projects and to fill the pockets of corrupt Congress/Communist politicians. Not even 1 Rs of the income of Hindu temples goes to the restoration of Hindu temples and shrines. This can happen only because Hindus don`t give a damn!

I have always described Musharraf is a chameleon! So nothing surprising when we see him in new colours. He still conceals that he was the one who initiated building of the terrorist networks in occupied Kashmir. This is well-documented in the book “Deception” by Adrian Levy & Catherine Scott-Clark which I strongly appeal to all Indians to read. If what he says is true, how does he describe the "bomb-a-day" situation in Pakistan? Does Musharraf call people of Swat and Waziristan as "freedom fighters" as he likes to call the terrorists in J&K? He, like most Pakistani leaders, Military or Civil or ISI, fail to realise that terrorists have no religion, no nation or no faith. They are just hired operatives and can be provoked to do anything by those who always succeed in provoking them. If Muslim youth of India feel alienated in India, the Pakistani youth are alienated twice as much there. Only thing that is harvested in Pakistan today is hatred and misdirected attacks on innocent people both here and in Pakistan. Will a good leader ever rise from the ashes of politics in Pakistan?

Mr.Mush ! ! ! You admits now, but in INDIA we all know the fact from very begining. Only our leaders do not know ...! ! and why should they know ? the victims are mostly the innocent people and not the politicians ...! can you tell me how many political leaders are killed in comparisson to the number of common man ?? equal to nil-.You are that much honest to admit, but our leaders are not honest enough to agree that they are ignoring the matter for some mistrerious reason known by them only.

"Musharraf also said that a sense of ‘alienation’ is fast creeping into Muslim youths in India, which, he said, is the prime reason for the rapidly expanding 'Muslim extremism' in that country." Firstly, Musharraf`s statement proves that he doesn't know the meaning of "Muslim". Which means "Musallam Eman". Holy Prophet (PBUH) said: Those who don't love their country, their Eman is weak. Muslim youths in India are followers of Holy Prophet (PBUH) and His Ahlebait(Household), so their Eman cannot be weak. Secondly, 'Alienation' is creeping into only those Muslim youths in India, who are followers of Al-Qaeda and Taliban. Who(Al-Qaeda and Taliban) are enemy of humanity. And anybody who is enemy of humanity cannot be Muslim, according to Quran, Holy Prophet (PBUH) and His Ahlebait(Household). So, Pakistan, so called Muslim country, fathering militancy, should think whether it is follower of Holy Prophet(PBUH) and His Ahlebait(House Hold) or Al-Qaeda and Taliban.

Having said all of this about Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kashmir and India the complexity increases, because there is a linkage in all of this,” the former general said. The only linkage in all the above is Pakistan`s unholy role of a father of extremism and terrorism in the region. Pakistan has not yet learn t the lesson that those who have house of glass do not throw stones on others` houses. In it`s hatred for India it has completely forgotten that India will survive as it has from centuries, but Pakistan, which has not survived even for half a century, will be destroyed. Just give another couplet to this retired soldier, who took stupid Kargil road to reach India, ``Sub Kuch Loota Hosh mein aaye to kya kiya``. There is still time for Pakistan and it`s stupid leaders to learn lessons and stop festering terrorism from their country.
