Accusing India of trying to create an anti-Pakistan Afghanistan, former president General (r) Pervez Musharraf has warned that Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency may need to take “counter-measures” if Afghanistan becomes too close to India.
He was speaking at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington think tank. Accusing India of working to turn Afghanistan against Pakistan, he said, “We must not allow this to continue… We must not begrudge if Pakistan orders ISI to take counter-measures to protect its own interests,” said Musharraf defending the Pakistani spy agency that US officials have accused of supporting extremists. “Now, India is trying to create anti-Pakistan Afghanistan,” he said.
