| 2015-09-04 |
| [DAWN] Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Thursday responding to the Indian army chief's statements earlier this week, said that Pakistain is ready for a small scale or prolonged war if Indian leadership proceeded with the same, Radio Pakistain reported. ... as they continue their scimitar rattling... Asif said that Pakistain is a firm believer of peace in the region and world on the lam, but was fully prepared to respond 'befittingly' if provoked. "Our forces crushed the Indian dreams of occupying Lahore back in 1965 and will do the same in future," the defence minister said. He said that Pak forces have been fighting a war against terror on their own soil and are ready to deal with any external enemy, if the need arises. Asif claimed that the country's politicianship ─ including the prime minister ─ would not hesitate to offer any sacrifice for the defence of Pakistain if the two countries were to lock horns. Indian Army Chief Gen Dalbir Singh on Tuesday had said that India is prepared to face offensive military action on its borders should the need arise, and that any future conflict was expected to be short and swift. |
