Islamabad: Islamabad on June 18 night reacted sharply to statements by Indian leaders over
the "slanted reporting" of Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's remarks.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has noted with regret the recent statements by the Indian leadership and
Ministry of External Affairs, government of India, over the slanted reporting of the remarks made by the
President of Pakistan," an official statement said.
Musharraf in a recent interview to news channel 'NDTV 24x7' had indicated that he does not rule out yet
another Kargil type intrusion.
Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee, reacting to the Pakistan President's comments, on June 18 said at
a public rally in Madhya Pradesh, "Musharraf has reminded us of Kargil, but he should remember Pak
controversy generated by the Indian media," the statement said the controversy should have ended
after the clarification by the President of Pakistan that he was being quoted incorrectly and out of
context by the Indian media."
