New Delhi: Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf on Saturday denied rumours of his resignation and made clear he has no plans to go into exile as being speculated by the media.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Musharraf also said if he will "not sit idle" if his powers are clipped.

He said he had no home outside his country and was he out for a confrontation with anyone in Pakistan.

He also said AQ Khan was a disappointment , hinting he knew more about the disgraced scientist and his activities.

Referring to his ex-aide, Retired Lt Gen (Retd) Jamshed Gulzar Kiani’s comments on Kargil war, the embattled Pakistan president said certain things about Kargil episode “needed to be kept confidential".

The Kargil war, Musharraf said, was too confidential to be discussed in public.

In an interview to Pakistan’s Geo TV on Monday, Kiyani said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif was not informed about the 1999 Kargil operation by Musharraf who was then army chief.

"I am not sure from where he (Sharif) came to know, but it wasn't through the army and the Kargil operation was kept secret from Nawaz Sharif," said the former general who was the corps commander of Rawalpindi, one of the most important posts in the army, under Musharraf when he was the chief of the army staff.

The former general demanded a probe into Musharraf's acts since he went on the Kargil "misadventure". "There are many issues and many acts on which Musharraf should be brought to the court of law," said the general.

Indian and Pakistani troops were involved in a confrontation in Kargil, in the upper reaches of the Himalayas in 1999.
