Kuala Lumpur: Violating Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) charter that bars raising bilateral issues, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on February 24 raked up the Kashmir problem at the NAM summit, saying the grouping should recognise the "right of self-determination" in Kashmir.

Addressing the summit that opened on February 24, Musharraf said the legitimate right of people of Kashmir and Palestine have been recognised by the United Nations and NAM should not shy away from the issue in a "selective manner".

Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, in his speech later in the day, is expected to respond to the Pakistani leader's attack.

Musharraf also alleged "human rights violations" in Kashmir, Palestine and Rwanda.

He said he was opposed to terrorism, but wanted the root cause of the menace also addressed by the 116-member grouping.
