Fuming that Afghanistan enjoyed too close a relationship with New Delhi for Islamabad's liking, Musharraf also called for a rapprochement between the intelligence agencies ISI of Pakistan and RAW of India.

Accusing India of working to turn Afghanistan against Pakistan, he said: "We must not allow this to continue. We must not begrudge if Pakistan orders ISI to take counter-measures to protect its own interests," he said.
