Muslim extremists in India, a matter of international concern: Musharraf | Former Pakistan President General Pervez Musharraf has blamed Muslim extremism in India for terror activities increasing in the subcontinent, saying it is a
matter of worry for the whole world. Musharraf, who is on a lecture tour of the
US currently, told a gathering at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island,
those Muslim extremists in India pose a 'growing' concern for the international
community. Referring to the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI), Musharraf
said the organization was a clear example that extremism is growing among Muslim
youth in India. "There is a sense of frustration of unequal opportunity and discrimination
in India," said Musharraf. Musharraf also criticized Pakistan's current leadership
and blamed the leaders for the current crises facing the country. "It's not a
crisis of nation or people, but a crisis of leadership. Simple as that," The Nation
quoted Musharraf, as saying. Musharraf defended Pakistan's development of nuclear
arms as a 'logical response' to India's development of nuclear weapons. "I am
called a man of war, but I am a man of peace because I understand the ravages
of war. Military action only buys time, it does not deliver the cure," said the
former general. |
