Talk of n-war, a thing of the past, says Musharraf

Moscow Sept. 9. The Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf, has said that talk about a nuclear showdown between India and Pakistan was a thing of the past, but asserted that lasting peace in the sub-continent would be possible only after the resolution of the Kashmir issue.

``The tension in bilateral (Indo-Pak.) relations will subside if the root causes of the dispute are removed through a peace dialogue. Dialogue on the Kashmir problem and its solution will ensure a lasting peace,'' Gen. Musharraf said in an interview to the Russian daily Kommersant published today.

``There was talk about exchange of nuclear strikes between Pakistan and India and they are a matter of past. Even in those days we maintained calm and insisted on resolving all the disputes through dialogue,'' Gen. Musharraf said. — PTI
