Powell asks Musharraf to implement his promises
T V Parasuram (PTI)
Washington, February 5

Putting the onus on Islamabad, US Secretary of State Colin Powell on Tuesday asked Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf to implement the promises he made to end terrorism emanating from his country.

Terming the Indo-Pak border stand-off as a "dangerous situation", he said the US would encourage both India and Pakistan to refrain from provocative rhetoric and move to a re-deployment of their military force.

Powell told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that Musharraf's speech on January 12 was a "seminal event" which "not only dealt with terrorism and extremism in a way I believe New Delhi found constructive, but sent a clear message to Pakistanis that terror must end if Pakistan is to enter the 21st century with expectation of progress and a decent life for its people."

"Musharraf showed great courage and foresight in sending such a decisive message to his country and, by extension, to the Islamic world. Now, he must show equal courage in implementing his concept in Pakistan," Powell said.
