Musharraf made an offer to conquer Kashmir, reveals Bhutto
[ 6 Apr, 2007 2051hrs ISTPTI ]


NEW DELHI: In a "startling revelation", former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto has claimed that Pervez Musharraf in 1996 had sought her permission to "take" Kashmir by assuming control of Srinagar, a suggestion she had shot down.

Bhutto made this claim in the revised edition of her autobiography "Benazir Bhutto: Daughter of the East" released in Britain this week.

Musharraf, then a major general and director of military operations, had concluded a briefing to Bhutto with the words that "a ceasefire would be in place and Pakistan would be in control of Srinagar."

"I asked him, 'And what next?' He was surprised by my question, and said, 'Next we will put the flag of Pakistan on the Srinagar Parliament'," she wrote in her autobiography.

And of course the question that must be asked is why is she “revealing” this?

If one takes for granted that a Pakistani politician is by nature a congenital liar, and one recognizes the pattern that all Pakistani politicians will sabotage all other Pakistani politicians, and one further assumes that there can never be a Pakistani politician who does not assert a claim to Kashmir, then what is clear is that if Musharraf did make that offer he was trying to sabotage the chureil, and her refusal was motivated by the wish not have him rise in stature.

A disastrous war would have reflected badly on her, any battlefield victories would have lent glory to him.

No Pakistani prime minister would take such a risk – an actual war with India would wreck his or her career.


Many Pakistani generals however would suggest it – in order to then garner support for a move against the adventurism of politicians, who clearly do not understand the fragility of the situation and the risks involved, and who would ruin Pakistan for their own advantage.


Kashmir = the great Paki rhetorical weapon. Use it on other Pakistani politicians, use it on the public, use it on the ulema, and use it on the ignorant tribals. But for MuhammadAliJinnah’s sake, never actually use it!
Recklessly eliminating the Kashmir issue (by conquest OR by comprehensive peace) would destroy the unifying cause AND the armory of the Pakistani ruling class.

Without the Kashmir issue, Pakistan would fall apart. The glue of Pakistani nationhood would dissolve without Kashmir.



Entirely aside from which, Benazir Bhutto is such a compulsive liar that it is hard to imagine her uncovering any fragment of fact, let alone saying anything mostly truthful.
[Like almost all Pakistani politicians, she is a psychopath from a dysfunctional clan of psychopaths - in her case, politically meddlesome Sindhi zamindars (feudal landholders).]

Pakistani politicians have the ability to turn the smallest fragment of the truth into the most poisonous fiction, and to embroider any falsehood until it becomes the revealed word, the divine prophecy, and the very foundation of a supra-verity much better than actual reality.
A Pakistani politician who breathes, lies. It's a gift. It's an art. It is poetry.
