Heavy losses will be inflicted on India if war imposed on Pakistan: Asif
204
SIALKOT: Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Sunday said if India tried to impose war on Pakistan, heavy losses will be inflicted on India, “which she will remember for decades,” reported Radio Pakistan.
Talking to journalists during his visit to Kundunpur village along the working boundary in Sialkot, Asif said cowardly acts by Indian forces had “strengthened our forces’ determination to defend our motherland.”
“The armed forces will defend every inch of their motherland at every cost.”
Kundunpur was among the villages badly affected by the recent firing and shelling from Indian border forces along the working boundary.
Read: At least 11 killed as Indo-Pak border troops exchange fire.
The defence minister said India’s “real face had been exposed as it was supporting terrorism in Pakistan and creating tension on borders through unprovoked firing along the working boundary and the Line of Control.”
Asif went on to say that India is diverting attention from its “internal failures” by creating tension on borders.
Condemning the recent ceasefire violations by Indian troops along the LoC, Asif said the “sacrifices of our martyrs will not go waste.”
The minister said Pakistan had proof of India’s interference in Pakistan, adding that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will present the evidence at the upcoming United Nations General Assembly meeting in September.
“The prime minister will also present these proofs to the US leadership during his visit to America in October this year.”
Asif later visited the residences of those killed and injured by Indian firing in Sialkot’s working boundary area.
The minister also announced assistance of Rs500,000 for the families of the deceased, while Rs100,000 each was announced for those injured.

In any war there are wounds inflicted on both sides for which decades are less to heal.
The courage must be shown by both sides to avoid such situations and rhetoric. Can anyone be brave enough for a newer initiative than these regularly stated positions and jingoism.The next generation is asking for its right of peaceful and progressive life.

What absolute rubbish. A country hat has managed to get over 100 billion usd in investments since Modi took over, has no interest in fighting with Pakistan, othe than defending it's territory.
What's disappointing is the power the Pakistani army has on political matters. Clearly it was wrong to cancel the recent talks after an agenda had already been agreed by the PM's of both countries.
Pakistanis have to somehow rise up and take back their country from the control of the army. It is unfortunate there is so much internal fighting within the country.
Internationally Pakistan is perceived as a failed state.

Mr. Khwaja, since its common knowledge that conventionally Indian military is much more stronger than Pakistan's, you should be aware that any "heavy losses" that you plan to inflict on India will result in even heavier losses for Pakistan. The heavy losses will be for the poor families living along the LoC who will lose loved ones & their homes while folks like you will give jingoistic statements from Islamabad, Delhi & Rawal Pindi. Sir, you are an experienced gentleman. Please talk some sense & about peace instead of giving hollow statements which have little meaning in real life.

India waging a war is beyond practical logic. They cannot do this for another 1000 years. In reality they lost all battles until now, they have 50 crore people sleeping on foot paths, ie: without shelter. Until now they could not give due respect to women. A country where a man convicted in murders of 2000 Muslims in Gujrat is their PM and their drug consuming man is here aka Salman.... so as a nation they are divided in may be 24 states.... Sikhs are demanding independent state, South Indian do not like to be called Indians, half of Indians does not know where is Pakistan.... their Army is cornered in coffins.... no chance for India to wage war on us.

whenever there is a war more than 99 % deaths and destruction is caused to the innocent peace loving people both sides. None of the politician, bureaucrat or General suffers the loss of life or property. This is in addition to the formidable economic backlash caused to the people both sides. Hence the leaders who value the precious human life always try to settle the disputes through dialogues and not

This is the right approach. We want to live in peace with our neighbors but any act to destabilize our existence and security must not be taken lightly. The matter should be brought up on all international forums. The press needs to be briefed about it so that it can counter the Indian propaganda affectively.

My friends from accross the border. Despite pinpricks and aggression accross international border from pakistan for decades( 47-48, gibralter in 65, kargil in 99, mumbai in 2008) India has reached Mars, is 16 times bigger economy than pak, its far more respected and accepted int he world, is contributing immensely in the software, engineering, medicine, and other important international affairs. India is looked upon as a regional super power and one of the next global powers. India and its ministerers have never flaunted nuclear muscles and threats to anyone despite any provocation, Infact we responsiblily states the no first strike doctrine against nuclear countries and no strike doctrine against non-nuclear nations. Just look at the dynamics of pak, extremely fragile economy for a nuclear nation, almost of the size of "mumbai city". Believe me mumbai is projected to be bigger economy than pak in next few years !

This would never be a conventional war please mind it and God forbid after war I or you might never get chance to write on this platform again.

@Einstein Babar Mr Babar India knows the outcome of a nuclear war and that is why it never threaten any other country in world or even issued a threat. In fact India declared no first use of nuclear weapons but Pakistan is bragging about its nuclear arsenal or issued a threat to Pakistan. So it is Pakistan needs education regarding nuclear toys and what they can do to the humanity, and if needed they should watch countless documentaries of the nuclear fallout of the nuclear weapons on Heroshima and Nagasaki.

All Indians if start thinking like you today, I think Kashmir issue will be resolved in one parley of both sides sensible leaders. You and I can decide it today, right here, today give to Pakistan what India took away at the time of 1947 Sub-Continents partition from Pakistan. I will give India a non aggression peace accord and no first choice use of nuclear weapon in one year. Don't ask me how? I will deliver it at an International forum in front of the global leaders.
