India will not attack Pak.: Musharraf

ISLAMABAD July 14. The Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf, has charged India with trying to destabilise Pakistan through a ``war hysteria'' but said it would not attack the country simply because it was not only a nuclear power but was also New Delhi's equal in military strength.

``The reason is not that Pakistan was a nuclear power but that Pakistan was also equivalent to India in conventional military strength,'' Gen. Musharraf told a consultative meeting of newspaper editors and columnists in Islamabad on Saturday. He said: ``India was aiming at destabilising Pakistan through this war hysteria but it would gain nothing by such tactics.'' — PTI
