If Pakistan fires one atomic bomb, India will finish us by firing 20, says Musharraf

Islamabad:Former president of Pakistan Pervez Musharraf on Friday said that tension between the neighbouring nuclear powers, India and Pakistan, had again reached a "dangerous level". He described any act of nuclear attack as rubbish.

Gen Musharraf said " if Pakistan would attack India with one atomic bomb, then the neighbouring country could "finish us by attacking with 20 bombs"."The only solution is that we should first attack them with 50 atom bombs so that they cannot hit us with 20 bombs. Are you ready to first launch an attack with 50 bombs" It is not so simple. Do not talk like this. There is always a military strategy," he added, reported Dawn.

Pervez Musharraf said that the similar situation was developed in 2002 between the two countries when India had deployed its army, navy and air force along Pakistan's border for 10 months.

However, he added, India did not find the courage to do any adventure and had to withdraw the forces after seeing Pakistan's readiness.The former army chief said " India had advantage in some areas in Kashmir and it could launch a surgical strike, but Pakistan also had advantage in many other areas. 

He said if India launched any attack in Kashmir, Pakistan could respond in other areas in Sindh and Punjab and could teach them a lesson.He suggested to Pakistan Army to keep a plan prepared before time to deal with any possible Indian move.

The former president called for establishing relations with Israel.He also claimed that Israel wanted to establish relations with Pakistan.(UNI)
