Adviser to Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif on National Security and Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz on Monday underscored that Pakistan will not hold dialogue with India on her terms, adding that there can be no dialogue without the water issue and Kashmir as topics for discussion.
Speaking to media representatives in Islamabad after an inauguration of the 10th meeting of heads of the Higher Education Commission (HEC) of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) countries, Aziz said that even if cordial terms are not possible with India, Pakistan wants to maintain tension-free relations with her.
Sartaj reiterated that Pakistan will take up India’s anti-Pakistan statements with the United Nations’ Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon.
President Mamnoon condemns Indian propaganda against CPEC
While addressing the convocation ceremony of ‘National Security and War Course’ at National Defence University in Islamabad on Monday, President Mamnoon condemned Indian propaganda against the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project, said a report published on Radio Pakistan.
The president urged people not to over-react on the statements and stand by the government to rebut in a suitable manner. He reiterated that the nation must support the government and armed forces to overcome challenges.
The President also said that other countries’ reservations on the project are baseless and the government is focused on completing the corridor with all seriousness, as it is significant for Pakistan’s future.
Last week, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in an address at Dhaka University blamed Pakistan for spreading terrorism and fear in neighbouring India.
Earlier, Indian Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar, in a shocking and radical statement, had asserted that terrorists have to be neutralised only through terrorists.
“India will take proactive steps to prevent a 26/11 type attack,” Press Trust of India quoted him saying.
Commenting on the shocking utterances of the Indian Defence Minister, a defence analyst said the statement was appalling and beyond comprehension.
The Senate last week passed a unanimous resolution strongly condemning recent provocative statements made by the top Indian leadership, including the threat of attacks on Pakistani territory.
The resolution had said that the House emphasises that Pakistan would never allow its territory to be violated by India under any pretext, and that Pakistan’s armed forces are capable of issuing a befitting response to any such incursion.
The Upper House of Parliament had urged the international community to take notice of India’s provocative statements, which did not bode well for regional peace and affected prospects of sovereignty and stability.
During Indian Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar’s visit to Pakistan in March, despite clear commitment from both sides to narrow divergences and build on convergences, there was no timeline given for resumption of bilateral engagement.
“We’ll move when both sides are ready. We’ll remain in touch and see how and when to take the next step,” Foreign Secretary Aizaz Chaudhry had said while replying to a question and hastened to add that there was a need to seriously addressing each other’s concerns.
Correct! Pakistan will do whatever and whenever it wants. We will build Gwadar port to benefit ourselves and China as well no matter how much Bharatis beat their own chests. China has told them to shut up not as if they have any other choice. It is impossible for Pakistanis to be bullied by a bunch of ugly, grass eating and piss drinking monkeys when our ancestors kicked the hell out of them for centuries. We are not to be mistaken for weak, confused or apologetic Indian Muslim’s….no Pakistanis are a different breed altogether. Never mind any talks with Bharat when they are not required at all instead Pakistan will continue to support Kashmiri freedom fighters in the valley moreover we will never give Bharat MFN status nether will they ever be granted access to Afghanistan through Pakistan. I spit on Bharat and it’s ugly people, to hell with the Aman ki Asha campaign as well. I want Bharat Mata and her people’s noses to be repeatedly rubbed on the ground.
India is the bubble gum on the sole of my shoe.
