"There is nothing happening on the Line of Control," he said. "That is what I would like to repeat. And I would like to repeat again: Reciprocation is important."

"As a first step, the (Indian) military should leave the towns and cities of Kashmir and be in the outskirts," Musharraf said.

Maybe I'm reading more into this than is actually there, but...

He's saying nothing's happening on the Line of Control, and that reciprocation is important... This sounds to me like an implied admission that he has something to do with the (claimed) cessation of infiltration across the LoC.. which would, in turn, imply that he had something to do with the fact that infiltration existed in the first place.

And another important point - in return for pulling back his jehadi dogs, he wants India to pull out of the cities of Indian-Kashmir. If this doesn't prove what India has been claiming all along, that is, that Pakistan uses jehad as an instrument of state policy, I don't know what does!

India would be foolish to trust this man.

India doesn't trust him. We've been here before. He made a similar statement and pledge in January to avert war after the terror attack on the Indian Parliment. But the terror camps stayed open, the ISI still helped the terrorists and 75% of the 2000 militants Musharraf arrested were released.

India won't be fooled by these words, they'll want to see serious action being taken on the ground. So far, that hasn't happened. This is all hot air.
