| Nuclear war with India better than dying in desert state |

| LAHORE - Eminent journalist and Chairman Nazaria-i-Pakistan Trust Majid Nizami has said that without Kashmir, Pakistan's future is bleak and it would be better to wage an atomic war against India rather than die in a state of desert after 10 years. He was addressing the meeting of Advisory Council of Nazaria-i-Pakistan Trust here on Tuesday at Aiwan-e-Karkunan Tehrik-e-Pakistan in collaboration with Tehrik-e-Pakistan Workers Trust. "India is hatching malicious conspiracies against Pakistan by constructing over 50 dams that would stop Pakistan's water share and convert it into desert. Time and again letters were written to the Pakistan Foreign Office but they issued a statement protesting informally and meekly to India. "The way our foreign affairs department had adopted in this regard is not result-oriented and fruitful and concerned authorities in Pakistan should understand the gravity of this problem as world analysts are predicting that future wars would be fought over water, Nizami said. "We always kept the government informed through NPT platform that Pakistan came into being on the basis of Two-Nation Theory and India is our arch-enemy and we have to depend on our muscles to confront Indian hegemony. "Somehow our leaders sitting in government could not understand our point of view and sometime they talked against Two-Nation Theory," he said. To PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari's statement that first trade then Kashmir, Nizami said: "I replied him that first Kashmir then trade is possible." He also vehemently said former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif also wanted to have trade relationships with India pushing aside Kashmir issue but he also advised him to solve Kashmir issue first and then have trade relationship with India. He said 16 years ago, Punjab former Chief Minister Ghulam Haider Wyne had laid foundation stones of Nazari-i-Pakistan Trust and Tehrik-e-Pakistan Workers Trust and provided adequate funds for its functioning. "We are using the same funds in holding different functions in its premises," he added. He said every function being held in this building had direct link with two-nation theory in which they had tried utmost to transfer this theory to new generation and with the grace of Allah Almighty have been successful in the mission. "The credit goes to Vice-Chairman NPT Prof Dr Rafique Ahmad, Secretary NPT Shahid Rashid and their team who had devoted themselves for this noble cause," he said. |

| #5 The evil and wicked Indians are helping the Afghans build a dam on the Kabul river that will deprive Pakistan of its water. |

| #4 How could India block Pakistan's water? I mean Pakistan has mountains to the West, they must have some snow from that brutal Afghan winter to fill up rivers and such, right? |

| #3 Wage war against a neighbor for the better part of fifty years, and you reliquish all "woe, woe, woe is me" credit when they cut you off at the knees. If you gormless miserable vicious curs had not been flooding Kashmir with the most rabid of terrorists and cut-throats for thirty years, maybe the Indians would be in more of a sharing mood. There's precious little charity in the heart of a mark who's just been kicked in the shin. |
