NEW DELHI: Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto has accused former prime

minister Rajiv Gandhi of not keeping his 'promise' in 1988 to withdraw Indian

troops from Siachen.

Reacting strongly to National Security Adviser MK Narayanan's comments

that she had not kept 'a number of promises' made to the late PM during

their meeting in Pakistan that year, Ms Bhutto said that she had been "very,

very surprised and extremely hurt" by them.

"If anyone kept their word, it was me. Not Rajiv," the former Pakistani

PM and PPP leader told Outlook magazine in an interview. Mr Gandhi had

gone back to India after meeting her and "then called me on his way to the

Commonwealth (Summit) to say that he could not keep his promise to

withdraw from Siachen and that he would do it only after the elections (1989),"

she said.

Ms Bhutto said Mr Narayanan, who made the remarks in a television

interview, could not have known what transpired in 1988 because it was a

one-to-one meeting between Mr Gandhi and her. "Nobody else knew what Rajiv and I

discussed. There was no fly on the wall. How can anyone say I have not

kept my promise to him when the single-biggest result of that meeting was

the end of the Sikh insurgency. I made no promises that could have been

broken," she said emphatically.

Mr Narayanan had said that it's "difficult to believe" that Ms Bhutto

wouldlive up to her promises if she became PM. "I know that in 1988, when

she met with PM Rajiv Gandhi, she made a number of promises. Whether she was

unable (to fulfil them) we know that she was immediately curbed by the

military on that point...I think it would be very optimistic that she could fulfil

what she said...," he said.

Ms Bhutto wondered how India could have forgotten the assistance she

provided to curb the militancy in Punjab. "India was in a complete mess at that time. Does anyone remember that it was I who kept my promise to PM Gandhi when we met and he appealed to me

for help in tackling the Sikhs..." she said.
