Pakistan capable of responding to Indian actions: Defence minister
[DAWN] Pakistan's defence minister said on Thursday that the country is capable of responding âbefittinglyâ to Indian actions on the border after several days of clashes in the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir.
âWe do not want the situation on the borders of two nuclear neighbours to escalate into confrontation,â Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said in a statement. âIndia must demonstrate caution and behave with responsibility.â
Defence minister's reaction comes against the backdrop of an earlier statement by his Indian counterpart Arun Jaitley where he 'warned' Pakistan to stop shelling in the disputed region.
