New Delhi (AFP) Apr 1, 2002
Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Monday warned India against treating his country like "scum" and called for a UN role in de-escalating military tensions which left the South Asian nuclear rivals on a war-footing.

In a lengthy interview with the Hindu newspaper, Musharraf blamed Indian intransigence for the continued border face-off and confessed he could see no way out of the current impasse.

India and Pakistan have massed hundreds of thousands of troops on their common border since an attack on the Indian parliament in December which New Delhi blamed on Pakistan-based militant groups.
