Former president Pervez Musharraf said that India should not have any misconception to carry out a US-like operation in Pakistan.He said that if India tried to venture out, it would have to face severe retaliation from Pakistan. He said that being the former army chief, he believed that if India did resorted to aggression, it would have to face the retaliation beyond its imagination.In an interview with an Indian channel, Musharraf rejected to accept the reports that Osama would have been living in the compound in Abbotabad for five years.He discarded the allegations that Pakistan had already known about Osama’s presence in the compound, saying that President Obama also thanked Pakistan for the intelligence cooperation. He said that numerous Al Qaeda operatives had been captured in Pakistan when he was at the helm of affairs. If the US does not trust Pakistan, it will do no good to the alliance between the two countries, Musharraf added.He said that Pakistan did not require any kind of help from India and if it wanted to help Pakistan, it should stop backing militants from its Afghan consulates.He said that India was behind the insurgency in Balochistan as the weapons were not falling from sky for Baloch rebels rather India was providing them.
