Pakistan Foreign Minister responds to Indian Army Chief threats

WASHINGTON - Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has responded to the threats hurled by the Indian Army Chief.

He on Monday said that despite Pakistan’s commitment to improve relations with India, the country is fully capable of thwarting any sort of aggression.

“India’s decision to opt out of dialogues is disappointing and is contrary to diplomatic ethics. The aggressive comments of the Indian Army Chief and Indian government’s backing out is only to distract the world from it’s internal issues,” FM Qureshi said while speaking to a press conference in Washington.

He added that Pakistan is fully capable of responding to any sort of aggression. “Scores of Indians are critical of the Indian government’s policies in Kashmir. Also, there are concrete evidences of foreign involvement in Balochistan. We are capable of thwarting any sort of aggression and will do so if necessary,” he said.
