RAWALPINDI - Pakistan Army says it does not want war with India, but if India starts aggression against us it should be ready for a surprise.
Briefing media in Rawalpindi this afternoon, Director General ISPR Major General Asif Ghafoor said the response of Pakistan Army will be different from Indian expectations as we are a battle hardened army and know the capability of neighboring country well.
The DG ISPR said Pakistan has already clarified that it has nothing to do with Pulwama attack as the attacker, explosive devices, and planning were indigenous.
He said Prime Minister Imran Khan has already offered India to provide concrete evidence, if any, regarding the attack and Pakistan will take decisive action, not due to any external pressure, but in its own interest.
He said Prime Minister also offered India to hold talks even on the issue of terrorism which is a scourge for the whole region and detrimental to peace. He expressed the hope that India will respond to this offer in a positive way and should not become hindrance in the way of development and progress of the region.
DG ISPR questioned how Pakistan could have any link to this issue when there were eight significant events for Pakistan both at home and abroad. Saudi crown prince was visiting, there was a discussion due on terror listing in the UNSC, Afghan peace talks were ongoing and there were developments in European Union and the United Nations on human rights violations in Occupied Kashmir.
There was also the hearing in International Court of Justice regarding Kulbhushan Jadhav, the FATF hearing, a meeting on Kartarpur border as well as PSL matches.Major General Asif Ghafoor said apart from this, there is an election campaign in India, and the freedom struggle in Occupied Kashmir is at its peak and out of India's hands.
He said a pattern can be seen whenever there is election in India, situation on the Pak-India border and Occupied Kashmir deteriorate.
