Islamabad:
The Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Senator Ishaq Dar, said that Pakistan did not consider deploying nuclear eyelets against India during high tensions between the two countries last week.
The Vice Prime Minister, in an interview with CNN, said that Pakistan “had no other option”, but to launch attacks in “self -defense” after cross -border attacks on May 7 of India.
When qualifying the “war” of India and an “attempt to illusion of establishing their hegemony” in Kashmir, he said: “There are certain moments when you have to make very serious decisions … We were very sure that our conventional capacity and ability are strong enough to win them both in the air and on the ground.”
While the high fire agreement until now seemed to be held, he said to the interviewer that the long -term negotiations between the two parties “were not yet made.”
“We still hope it prevails meaning,” he said.
He said it was in the interest that everyone does not delay or leave such problems beyond a reasonable time.
“(The Indians) had seen what happened in the sky,” he added. “They could see how serious the damage was.”
The Deputy Prime Minister said there was no direct contact between Indian or Pakistani officials, who contradict a prior statement made by the Director General of Military Operations of India, who, according to reports, received a message from his counterpart in Pakistan during the conversations. Instead, he said that the United States Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, transmitted the message that India was ready to stop the fight.
He said that Pakistan hoped to establish a path for long -term peace and security that would provide “dignity for both parties.”
Calling to Kashmir “the root cause of this regional instability”, Ishaq gave asked the grant of the rights of self -determination to the people of Cashmira.
He reiterated that Pakistan was not behind the attack last month in Pahalgam, saying: “We condemn terrorism in all forms and all manifestations.”
Dar added that he believed that US President Donald Trump supported Pakistan’s anti -terrorism efforts.
“If they did not believe (in our efforts), they would not have cooperated the way (which they did),” he said, pointing out the publication of Trump’s social networks about “finding a solution” to the Kashmir conflict.
However, Dar warned that the high high fire could already be threatened if the water problem was not resolved in the next conversations, referring to the Indian decision to maintain the treaty of the Indo’s waters in suspense.
Not solving the water problem “will be an act of war,” said Dar.
Meanwhile, Information Attaullah Tarar said that the recent high fire between Pakistan and India was the result of the diplomatic efforts of several countries.
