Musharraf won'g renounce use of nuclear weapons

Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf today refused to renounce the first use of nuclear weapons, as efforts to bring him together with his Indian counterpart appeared to fail.

Asked to state Pakistan’s nuclear policy and explain why it will not renounce first use of nuclear weapons as India has, Musharraf said, ‘‘The possession of nuclear weapons by any state obviously implies they will be used under some circumstances.’’
