ISLAMABAD, May 16: The Director-General of ISPR, Major General Rashid Qureshi, said on Thursday Pakistan would not accept threats from India and was fully prepared to respond to any aggressive action.
Talking to BBC Radio, he said Pakistan had always made efforts to resolve problems through dialogue but it was unfortunate that India was hurling threats at Pakistan with an aim to start a fight one way or the other.
He said: “We will not accept these threats but want to resolve all outstanding issues through talks.”
He categorically rejected India’s allegations of Pakistan’s involvement in the recent incident in Indian occupied Kashmir.
Gen Qureshi said Pakistan had time and again called for an independent inquiry because those who had nothing to hide adopted this attitude.
To a question, he said India was looking for excuses and it had amassed its troops along the border with Pakistan.
“How we and the international community can accept what India is saying when it has laid landmines along the Line of Control and international border.
How anyone can infiltrate due to extensive planting of landmines and heavy deployment of troops,” he added.
The general reiterated that Pakistan’s armed forces and people were fully prepared to respond to any action by the Indian forces.
India should not have any doubt as Pakistani nation was not troubled by its threats and knew how to defend itself, he added.—APP
