New York, Sept 15: The Pakistan President, Pervez Musharraf's speech at the United Nations General Assembly does not push the clock back or set it forward as far as the Indo-Pak. relations are concerned; and Gen. Musharraf should take steps to get out of the "desperation'' that he finds himself in, the Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister and National Security Adviser, Brajesh Mishra, has said. "Since nothing else was going on between India and Pakistan for the last year or so, except cross-border terrorism, where is the question of the clock being set back or forward? It is all the same,'' Mr. Mishra said in response to a question.
