In response to the call launched by Indian Army Chief Bipin Rawat to "avenge the kind of barbarity" against Indian soldiers, the Pakistani Army said Saturday that she was " ready for war "but chooses peace in the interest of his people. and neighbors. In an interview with Dunya TV, Pakistani army spokesman Asif Ghafoor said that Pakistan has a long history of fighting terrorism and that "we know the price [that is paid] for peace. "Pakistan's desire for peace should not be confused with weakness … War is needed when you are not ready for it. But we are a nuclear nation and ready, "he said.
The spokesman for the Pakistani army, which rejected India's claim that it killed and slaughtered one of its jawans, said, "We are a professional army. We never engage in such acts. We have struggled to achieve peace in the last two decades. We can never do anything to dishonor a soldier. In the past, they also accused us of mutilating the body of a fallen soldier, "Dawn reported.
Pakistan's information and broadcasting minister, Fawad Chaudhry, has also accused the Indian military of making "irresponsible" statements to divert attention from its internal problems. "The Indian government is facing corruption scandals at home. And in an attempt to divert attention from its internal problems, the Indian military is launching irresponsible declarations of war, "he said. "The head of the Indian army must understand that he is not a leader of the BJP," Chaudhry said, adding that "the world is witness to who wants the war and who wants peace. As a peace-loving country, Pakistan wants peace [with India]. "
Saturday, calling for a change of strategy between India and Pakistan, Bipin Rawat said: "What we need to do is something I would not say openly, but suffice it to say that yes, it's time to return it to them in the same room, not by resorting to a similar kind of barbarism, but I think the other party must also feel the same pain and that's some something we will certainly consider.
The war of words between the two countries was triggered after India canceled this month the talks at the level of foreign ministers with Pakistan, in New York, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly . The Indian side cited "two deeply disturbing events" – the "brutal killings" of members of the Pakistan security forces and the publication of postage stamps glorifying Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani as grounds for the cancellation of the talks.
Accusing India of "fleeing" a dialogue, Ghafoor said: [India] should come for a dialogue. Whenever attempts at dialogue have failed, it is that India has moved away from the table. The offer of the Pakistani government is still encouraging India to join us. "
While the Indian side has described negotiations between India and Pakistan as "meaningless in such an environment," Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan expressed his disappointment at the "arrogant" and "negative" response Indian government. "Disappointed by the arrogant and negative response of India to my call for the resumption of the peace dialogue. However, all my life, I came across small men in big offices who do not have the vision to see the big picture, "Khan said.
