It was then that my daughter came in suddenly. Then what will you do?" Singh said. Lashing out at Pervez Musharraf, he said the former Pakistan president has been spreading lies about the Kargil conflict. "He (Musharraf) has this habit of lying. First he said his Army was not involved in Kargil. Now it has been revealed, he had come 11 kms deep inside the Line of Control and spent the night. It means he has been telling lies all along," he said. On Musharraf's claim that Kashmir could have been with Pakistan had then Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif not gone to meet US President Bill Clinton during Kargil conflict, Singh said, "I can only say this much that while living presently in a nice house in England, he should stop daydreaming." The former Army chief also suggested that India should adopt a no-nonsense policy towards Pakistan. "Pakistan never sincerely accepted our hand of friendship. We have to evolve a policy of how to deal with our neighbours. We should make Pakistan understand that if it does something wrong, we will hit back and if it behaves well, then we can be friends. Like a big brother, we need to give a tight slap, if it misbehaves," Singh said.
