Pakistan Has No Intention to Start Conflict With India Unprovoked, Defense Minister Says
"But if India attempts to invade Pakistan or attack Pakistan, they'll be met with more than a matching response," Khawaja Muhammad Asif told Sputnik.
More statements by the Pakistani defense minister:
⦁ Pakistani-Indian tensions are unlikely to escalate into a nuclear exchange;
⦁ Pakistan seeks an international investigation into the April 22 terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir;
⦁ Accusations of Pakistan's involvement in the attack are "hollow claims" without evidence;
⦁ Russia and China could "play a positive role" in resolving the crisis, joining the investigation.
India-Pakistan tensions have escalated after the recent terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir, which killed 26 people, prompting India to reduce embassy staff, suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, and close the last open land border crossing.
