US
President George W Bush says you have links with Osama Bin Laden's Al-Qaida. Is
this true?

We have no links with Al-Qaida. US should first
provide proof and then make allegations. I have already written a letter to the
US State Department asking them to prove the charge in a court of law. The US
monitors our phone and till date they have not been able to establish any link
between us and the Al-Qaida. This is all a malicious propaganda campaign. The US
resents our popularity in Pakistan.


Do you agree with Pakistan's
Kashmir policy?

The incumbent government is too caught up
with its own problems to have formulated a Kashmir policy.

President Musharraf ne Kashmir movement ka
khoon kiya

. He created a vertical split in Hurriyat and other
separatists. This should not have happened.


You are losing support and the US
is winning the war on terrorism. What do you have to say about this?

Very soon you will find that situation will be just like it
was before 9/11. I am happy that Pakistan has signed a treaty with the Taliban.
This is an indicator of the fact that very soon the US will move out of
Afghanistan. Once they move the pressure on the Pakistan government will lift
and its policy will also change. Things will become good again?


How do you mean things will become
good again?

See it is no more an issue of Kashmir. It is now
a question of Pakistan's survival. India is constructing projects on Jhelum and
other rivers thus blocking much required water to Pakistan. India is also
constructing dam on Kabul river which will further add to water woes of
Pakistan. So in future there is going to be war between India and Pakistan.
