India today said former Pakistan president Pervez Musharraf's assertion that his country had trained militants to fight in Kashmir only confirms what New Delhi had been repeatedly saying over the years.

It pointed out that this was the reason why New Delhi wanted a commitment from Islamabad not to allow its soil to be used for anti-India activities.

Reacting to Musharraf's statement on Pakistan training underground militant groups to fight against India, the official spokesperson of the external affairs ministry said, "this is a widely accepted fact and General Musharraf's assertion only confirms the veracity of what we have been repeatedly saying over the years".

"This is precisely why India has sought a firm and abiding commitment from Pakistan that it will not allow its territory and territory under its control to be used for the aiding and abetting of terrorist activity directed against India and for providing sanctuary to such terrorist groups," he said.

Former military ruler Musharraf has admitted that Pakistan had trained underground militant groups to fight in Kashmir, the first such admission by a top leader of the country.

Musharraf's candid remarks came days after he announced his return to active politics from London where he has been living in self-imposed exile.

"They (underground militant groups to fight against India in Kashmir) were indeed formed," Musharraf told German magazine Der Spiegel in an interview published yesterday.
