`Ready to come tomorrow'

"You invite me today, I will come tomorrow," the Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf, said in Islamabad today when asked when he proposed to travel again to India.

Gen. Musharraf has no intention of competing with Mr. Vajpayee in poetry. Mr. Vajpayee is ``far ahead and much more knowledgeable than me. Sher-o-shayari mein woh (Vajpayee) bahut aage hain,"[in poetry and Urdu couplets he is far ahead of me], he said when asked whether the Indian leader had responded with any poem or couplet to the one he recited at the banquet hosted in honour of the SAARC leaders.

"As the confidence-building measures grow, more facilities can be given," Gen. Musharraf said promising to consider suggestions on facilitating Sikh pilgrims to visit gurdwaras, such as the Nankana Sahib and Punja Sahib, in Pakistan. — PTI, UNI
