PESHAWAR, Jan 11: Malik Attaullah Tarakzai, leader of Mohmond tribe has held responsible India for creating recent tension on the Pakistan-India border and said that more than seven million tribesmen will defend their country along side with Pakistani forces voluntarily.

In a statement here on Friday, the tribal elder said the past three wars between Pakistan and India had been fought due to the attitude of India and again the escalation of tension on the border was due to the irresponsible attitude of India.

He said if India imposed war on Pakistan this time tribesmen knew how to defend their country and warned that India would again face defeat.

Malik Attaullah said India should cool down the war hysteria.

He said Pakistan was a peaceful country and wanted to resolve all the disputes through peaceful and meaningful dialogue with India adding that international community must take notice of Indian movement along LoC.—PPI
