War not our choice, but will fight till the end if it is imposed: Fawad Chaudhry
 [DAWN] Minister of Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday said that while war was not a choice Islamabad would willingly make, Pakistain was ready to retaliate if it is imposed.Speaking to news hounds in Lahore, Chaudhry said that Pakistain had made all efforts to take relations with India towards normalisation but they had not been reciprocated. Recalling that Prime Minister Imran Khan ...aka The Great Khan, who isn't your heaviest-duty thinker, maybe not even among the top five... had once promised that Pakistain will take two steps towards peace if India takes one, Chaudhry warned: "We have stated that if you [India] work towards peace, we will reciprocate. But if you want to wage war, we will fight back till the end." At the Kartarpur Corridor groundbreaking ceremony, the premier had said that one is supposed to learn from history, not live in it, Chaudhry recalled. When asked about the role of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation and the Moslem bloc in the Kashmir ...a disputed territory lying between India and Pakistain. After partition, the Paks grabbed half of it and call it Azad (Free) Kashmir. The remainder they refer to as "Indian Occupied Kashmir". They have fought four wars with India over it, the score currently 4-0 in New Delhi's favor. After 72 years of this nonsense, India cut the Gordian knot in 2019, removing the area's special status, breaking off Ladakh as a separate state, and allowing people from other areas to settle (or in the case of the Pandits, to resettle) there.... dispute, Chaudhry said: "There is no Moslem bloc now. [...] All Moslem countries are embroiled in conflict. [Of the] countries that are stable,  ...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...is standing by us; the rest will take decisions according to their own interests. "No doubt, there is disappointment in Pakistain over the award recently conferred upon [Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi] by the UAE. We consider UAE as a friend to Pakistain and it must not be forgotten that Pakistain had a huge role in making Dubai what it is today."
