TIL Desk/World/London/ Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf has admitted that Jaish-e-Mohammad is a terror organisation and claimed that Pakistani intelligence had used the outfit to carry out suicide attacks in India during his tenure.
In a telephonic interview on March 5, Musharraf welcomed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s move of taking action against JeM and blamed the terror outfit for carrying out a suicide attack on him at Jhanda Chichi in Rawalpindi in 2003 when he was Pakistan’s president.
“I have always said that JeM is a terror organisation and they tried to assassinate me in a suicide attack at Jhanda Chichi in Rawalpindi in 2003. The suicide bomber pressed a button a few seconds late and I had crossed the bridge by that time. Action should be taken against them (JeM). I am happy that the government is taking a tough stand against them,” said Musharraf, who served as Pakistan’s president from 2001 to 2008.
