Musharraf rules out nuclear war with India

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf speaking to CNN on Saturday said he does not want a nuclear war with India.

Chiding the international community for raising the bogey of a nuclear conflict, Musharraf said, "I don't think either side is that irresponsible to go to that limit."

"I would even go to the extent of saying one shouldn't even be discussing these things, because any sane individual cannot even think of going into this unconventional war, whatever the pressures," he said.

India has already stated that it will not strike first with nuclear weapons.

When asked if Pakistan has a 'no first use policy', Musharraf said, "Pakistan backs something much bigger than that."

"We've called for a no-war pact [with India], that there shouldn't be any war," he said.
