We succeeded in changing the culture of fear. Before the president was half god, half president. Now he's just a man.

The move was adopted following pressure from the United States and its aim was to waste time while paying lip service to democracy.

We cannot withdraw forces until elections in Jammu and Kashmir are over and after that it depends on the situation. We have security forces along the borders and they will remain there until October.
