| Residents of Rawalpindi and Islamabad have strongly condemned the blame game being carried out by the Indian government, maligning Pakistan in the recent Mumbai attacks that claimed over 190 lives. People from all walks of life Wednesday were seen busy discussing the present developments with regard to Pakistan-India relations in the aftermath of Mumbai attacks. Mostly families remained glued to their television sets to know about the latest developments in the aftermath of Mumbai attacks and the Indian propaganda against Pakistan. People from all sections of the society, including Hindus and Christian, strongly condemned the propaganda of the Indian government and media on the issue. Ram Mukharji, a Hindu priest in Gracy Lines, told ‘The News’ that such statements of the Indian government are very irresponsible. “The Indian government and media has adopted an irresponsible and immature attitude by blaming Pakistan. Some other world powers are also trying to create misunderstandings between Pakistan and India,” he said. Matloob Ahmed Malik, a school principal said, “Many suicide attacks have occurred in Pakistan in the recent past, but our government never blamed India, then why is the Indian government and media is blaming Pakistan and presenting a gloomy picture of the country in this matter.” Such statements of India could create a wide gap between the people of the two countries, he added. Katharine Paul, a Christian lady settled in Islamabad, said, “War is not the solution to any issue, nonetheless, Pakistan is not weak in terms of fighting a war against any country of the world, as it is an atomic power.” “The Pakistani government must take immediate action against Indian allegations and should voice the matter at international level,” said Mahnoor Baloch, a student. Ahsen Naqvi, a senior lawyer said, “India should come up with proofs if any Pakistani is involved in Mumbai attacks. The Indian media should be ashamed for reporting false information against Pakistan.” Such statements are creating fear and panic among the people on both sides, which is not good for the prosperity of both the countries, he added. |

| #3 Interesting that when they want to trot out the "war is no solution" trope they put it in the mouth of a "Christian lady." Of course, her next breath warns of nuclear holocaust, since after all she is Pakistani, having "settled in Islamabad" and all. Crazy Christians. What are ya gonna do? |

| #2 Reading the self-deluded blather that comes out of Pakistan lately, I find myself thinking "There really isn't any hope for them, is there?" |

| #1 The reason that Pakistan doesn't blame India for attacks inside Pakistan is that unlike Pakistan the Indian government doesn't have a history of supporting terrorism. |
