Islamabad: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf, who justified his vicious attack on India at the United Nations (UN) General Assembly as a "language of desperation", further hyped the ante on September 19 by accusing New Delhi of "buying" its neighbours through an "extra-ordinary doctrine of bilateralism".

"Over the years India has developed an extra-ordinary doctrine of bilateralism, which seeks to buying its neighbours to a one-to-one relationship with it to resolve differences exclusively through bilateral negotiations," Musharraf said addressing a two-day conference on 'Peace and Security in South Asia' here.

He said New Delhi through this "high sounding mechanism unabashedly leveraged" its superiority on its smaller neighbours.

India desires to mould South Asian relations to suit its own great power ambition and has unresolved bilateral differences with practically all its neighbours, Musharraf claimed.

"We need to resolve all the disputes within ourselves. Unless the bogey of bialterlism is ended one cannot imagine bilateral justice in the context of South Asia, when it involves India and each one of the members of South Asia," he said.

Referring to Indo-Pak tension, Musharraf said Pakistan has made "major" commitments and taken significant steps to ease the current crisis.

"India's continued intransigence in the hope of further concessions is totally misplaced," he said, adding there would be no more "concessions" from Pakistan without New Delhi taking "substantive reciprocal steps" if it wanted to walk on the "high road" to peace.

Musharraf said key to normalisation of Indo-Pak relations lies in progress towards resolution of the Kashmir issue.

He said principled resolution of the Kashmir issue in accordance with the wishes of Kashmiri people would unlock the doors of normalisation of ties.

On the allegations of Pakistan sponsoring cross-border terrorism, Musharraf said Islamabad neither allowed, sponsored, nor encouraged any kind of movement across the LoC, the working boundary and international border. "Any claims to the contrary are motivated and false," he said.

Reiterating that it is practically impossible to completely seal the LoC, he said if India with larger force deployed cannot seal the LoC, it should not expect this from Pakistan.

He said deployment of Indian forces in forward and strike locations entails a grave security risk for the entire region. "There is need to sit across the table and thrash out our differences. This is opinion of the world," he said.

Musharraf said India's "feverish conquest" for hi-tech weaponry and force multiplier was another "great concern" for Pakistan.
