Musharraf remarks only confirm what we had been saying: India

New Delhi, Oct 6 (PTI) India Wednesday said former
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's assertion that his
country had trained militants to fight in Kashmir only
confirms what New Delhi had been repeatedly saying over the
years.

It pointed out that this was the reason why New Delhi
wanted a commitment from Islamabad not to allow its soil to be
used for anti-India activities.
Reacting to Musharraf's statement on Pakistan training
underground militant groups to fight against India, the
official spokesman of the External Affairs Ministry said,
"this is a widely accepted fact and General Musharraf's
assertion only confirms the veracity of what we have been
repeatedly saying over the years".
"This is precisely why India has sought a firm and
abiding commitment from Pakistan that it will not allow its
territory and territory under its control to be used for the
aiding and abetting of terrorist activity directed against
India and for providing sanctuary to such terrorist groups,"
he said.
Former military ruler Musharraf has admitted that
Pakistan had trained underground militant groups to fight in
Kashmir, the first such admission by a top leader of the
country.
Musharraf's candid remarks came days after he announced
his return to active politics from London where he has been
living in self-imposed exile.
"They (underground militant groups to fight against India
in Kashmir) were indeed formed," Musharraf told German
magazine Der Spiegel in an interview published Tuesday. PTI
