Both BJP and Congress were together in attacking Pakistan for aiding terrorists against India after Musharraf's statement.
Union Minister M Venkaiah Naidu said, "For a change he spoke the truth... If they at all are really interested in fighting terror, sometimes they should also raise voice... They should really make these people available to India because they have committed heinous crimes here."
National Security Adviser Ajit Doval took a dig at Musharraf's statement saying, "Jaise hero honge, waise hi log honge" (people will always be like their heroes).
When asked about it, Pakistan High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit did not respond and merely said, "I will talk about these issues later."
Former Army chief V P Malik said the truth has come out now that how Musharraf was trying to deceive people both within and outside his country.
BJP national secretary Shrikant Sharma said Pakistan has been exposed after the revelations and the party's stand towards Pakistan also stood vindicated that it has established terror factories against India.
Congress leader Pramod Tiwari said after Musharraf's statement on Osama bin Laden and terror outfits, it is clear that Pakistan is the home of terrorism.
