Former President Pervez Musharraf has said that nuclear assets of Pakistan are in safe hands and there is no danger of militants taking over them.Musharraf, currently on a lecture tour of the United States, stated this while addressing students at Trinity University in San Antenio in Texas. In his lecture, Musharraf also advocated far-reaching solutions to the issue of terrorism, including settling the Kashmir and Israel-Palestine problems. He said that India as well as Pakistan and Afghanistan faced extremist troubles.
"We need to inject more forces. And may I say we have to defeat it (terrorism), whatever it costs," he told a near-capacity crowd at Trinity's Laurie Auditorium.
"So therefore, may I suggest to this august gathering, we have to accept casualties, ladies and gentlemen," he was quoted as saying by The News daily.
