"Prime Minster Modi is your Prime Minister, not Pakistan's Prime Minister. We don't get any dictations from him. We know his credentials. We know his anti-Pakistan credentials.
"Now, it may be a red line for you that people of Pakistan or the Foreign Secretary must not meet the Hurriyat (leaders). That is not our red line. We do not follow your red line," he told Headlines Today.
Musharraf, who had conducted dialogue process with Prime Minsters Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Manmohan Singh, said while he used to meet Hurriyat leaders every time "why is there a change of heart. That itself shows and proves the anti-Pakistan credentials of PM Modi."
"He (Modi) is taking a confrontationist course with Pakistan. So this red line that he has declared is confrontationist certainly. It is not peaceful. And when you say he had invited PM Nawaz Sharif, Sharif invited him to Pakistan and he didn't come," Musharraf said.
The former army chief said, "PM Modi and India today is in an aggressive stance to browbeat Pakistan."
