Islamabad, February 19, 2019: Prime Minister Imran Khan delivering Policy Statement on Pulwama attack .<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In a televised address to the nation, Prime Minister Imran Khan reacted to the\u00a0sabre-rattling, in particular by the Indian media, calling for a surgical strike against\u00a0Pakistan, and expressed the hope that “better sense will prevail.”<\/p>\n

He said “if Indians believe that they can launch an attack on Pakistan, they\u00a0should understand that Pakistan would not think, but retaliate immediately as\u00a0there will be no other option.”<\/p>\n

Imran Khan said “no law in the world allows anyone or a country to be the”judge, jury and executioner” and said if India offered any proof, Pakistan would\u00a0cooperate.<\/p>\n

“We all know that it is easy to start a war, but very difficult to end. And we do\u00a0not know where it will lead to.”<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister offered the Indian government to fully cooperate in any\u00a0kind of investigation it wanted into the Pulwama incident. He also asked for\u00a0tangible, credible and intelligence-based evidences which should be shared\u00a0and expressed the resolve that Pakistan would take action.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister regretted Indian posture of preconditioning the Kashmir\u00a0issue with talks over terrorism, and said that Pakistan was ready for a dialogue\u00a0on this issue as it was affecting the whole region.<\/p>\n

He said Pakistan had been the worst victim of curse of terrorism in the last\u00a0fifteen years.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister, expressing his wonder over the swift and baseless Indian\u00a0allegations in the aftermath of Pulwama incident, questioned Indian leadership\u00a0what were the advantages Pakistan hoped to get out of such attack.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister explained that he did not immediately respond to the\u00a0Indian accusations as they were fully focusing on the significant visit by the\u00a0Saudi Crown Prince and the economic conference.<\/p>\n

If he had responded at that time, the attention could be diverted from the\u00a0significant visit by the royal dignitary of the brotherly country,\u00a0 he said.<\/p>\n

An idiot could think to do so to sabotage his visit. Why at this stage when\u00a0Pakistan was going for peace and stability? he added.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said Pakistan was going to achieve peace and stability\u00a0after resolutely fighting terrorism in the last fifteen years, with loss of seventy<\/p>\n

thousand precious lives and 100 billion dollar losses in economic terms.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister advised the Indian leadership to break the shackles of\u00a0its past mantra and refrain from targeting Pakistan for every incident in the\u00a0Occupied Kashmir.<\/p>\n

He said India should instead come forward to resolve the Kashmir issue though\u00a0dialogue. \u201cWe are ready to talk to you,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He said a new government has been functioning in Pakistan with new thoughts\u00a0and vision in the \u201cNaya Pakistan\u201d.<\/p>\n

He reiterated that it was in Pakistan\u2019s interest, not to allow anyone to use its\u00a0soil against anyone nor allow someone to carry out such activities on its soil from\u00a0the outside. \u201cIf someone is doing it, he is doing enmity with Pakistan. If someone\u00a0is using our soil, it is enmity with us. It is against our interests,\u201d he added while\u00a0ruling out any outside pressure.<\/p>\n

He said Pakistan wanted to eliminate terrorism from the region.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister reminded India to give new thinking and introspection to\u00a0the grave situation in IoK and ponder as to why Kashmiri youths had gone to such\u00a0extent by completely discarding fears of death.<\/p>\n

Suppression of Kashmiris through use of military force and one-dimensional\u00a0oppression would not succeed. How could you expect to resolve the issue in future\u00a0when all such oppressive tactics and use of military force had failed so far, he\u00a0reminded the Indian government\u00a0 and referred to the Afghan issue where the world\u00a0had acknowledged to find out solution to the 17-year long war through dialogue\u00a0process.<\/p>\n

He said that war was no solution to Kashmir issue. Why should not this issue\u00a0be discussed in India!<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister said they were hearing Indian leadership, politicians and\u00a0media unleashing aggression against Pakistan in the aftermath of Pulwama\u00a0incident.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister noted that such war-mongering behavior was understandable\u00a0due to the elections year in India as with Pakistan\u2019s bashing, they would get boost\u00a0in the election campaigns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
