Musharraf, Jamali discuss Yashwant Sinha's remark
Sunday, April 6 2003 16:15 Hrs (IST)

Islamabad: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali discussed External Affairs Minister Yaswant Sinha's remarks on pre- emptive military action, saying any "misadventure" by India could be met with full force.


After two days of strong statements denouncing Sinha's statement asserting that New Delhi has a better right to take pre-emptive action against Pakistan than United States against Iraq, Jamali met Musharraf last night and discussed impact of the remarks.

"Both leaders discussed matters which included the threat of pre-emptive strike by India against Pakistan," local daily 'Dawn' quoted officials as saying.

During the meeting, Musharraf informed Jamali about the state of preparedness of the armed forces saying that any misadventure by India would be met with full force, the daily said.

They agreed that anti-Pakistan statements by the Indian leaders were meant to win the forthcoming elections in 11 Indian states, the officials told the daily.

Pakistan has already reacted sharply to Sinha's statement that Pakistan's armed forces were fully prepared to retaliate any military strikes by India.

Besides the India-Pakistan standoff, Jamali and Musharraf also discussed the Iraq war and its impact on Pakistan. The two expressed their "serious concern" over the war on Iraq and said Pakistan should continue to work closely with France, Germany Russia and China to achieve the United Nations' centrality over Iraq crisis.

The two also discussed food and relief supplies to be sent to war ravaged Iraq.
