[Assam] It is about time Pakistan takes some responsibility for Assam not returning to a Sovereign State in 1947 due to the greed of her then leadership to swallow Assam up. Pakistan should assist Assam to take her case to the International Court of Justice.

*Musharraf pins India on 'Assam violence'
* ISLAMABAD, Oct 24 – In a sharp attack, Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf
today asked India to shed its 'obsession' of being a 'greater nation' and
its attempt to 'dominate' Islamabad, reports PTI. "I respect the Indian
Prime Minister but it is regrettable that India wants to keep its domination
in the region and wants Pakistan to be weaker force. India should come out
of its obsession of being a greater nation and should talk to us on an equal
level", Musharraf said.

"We would not allow anyone's interference in our internal matters and
neither would we tolerate such things," he said in an interview to a private
TV channel.

Musharraf said both countries should refrain from interfering into each
other's internal affairs. India, he said, should set its own house in order
before pointing fingers at Pakistan regarding terrorism on its soil and
telling others what to do.

"There are 21 such places in India where violence continues. The situation
in Assam is also visible. So, New Delhi should first correct its own matters
and then talk to Pakistan," he said.

He described as a "welcome development" the Indo-Pak dialogue process to
resolve the Kashmir issue.

"The talks between India and Pakistan on Kashmir issues are under way, which
is a welcome development. The two countries exhibited in this regard a
positive attitude in the Havana declaration (in September this year). Now
the process should move forward," the Pakistan President said.
