Pakistan’s military intelligence ISI trains Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e Mohammad and terror attacks in India will not stop until New Delhi addresses the "core" issue of Kashmir, said former Pakistan president General Pervez Musharraf. The 72-year-old former General of Pakistan Army said, "Kashmir continues to arouse sentiments in Pakistan, Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) trains Jaish-e- Mohammad and Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists."

"Everything will stop if you address the core issue," he said. "That is what you don't want to do." The former military general said, "Anyone who is doing any other act in Pakistan like, I know that he attacks me, is a terrorist certainly. Therefore, I call him a terrorist."

He said, "You want to bulldoze us, you want to bully us and you want to dominate us. You only want to talk about issues concern you like terrorism, Mumbai and Pathankot."

“Masood Azhar is a terrorist and the law enforcement agencies would take proper action against him,” said Musharraf while referring to the JeM leader, who was involved in an attack on him.

"Pakistan army is not training civilians. Intelligence organisation on our side as well as on your side is involved," he said in an interview to India Today TV. "Kashmir continues to arouse sentiments in Pakistan," the 72-year-old former president said as he defended terrorist activities in India. "Anyone who is fighting in Kashmir is a freedom fighter," he said.

"I don't think we will move forward on the core issue.

Musharraf said, "I don't believe anything that Headley had said. Pakistan intelligence should interrogate Headley." “LeT is not involved in terror in Pakistan. The Indian Intelligence agency is behind Pakistan attacks, had evidence against RAW agents,” Pervez said.
