Pakistan does not want military confrontation but the nation will defend itself with great courage ... albeit briefly...
in case of war, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood "Wormtongue" Qureshi said on Tuesday. He was talking to reporters after Eid prayers at Darbar Hazrat Bahauddin Zikriya. He said that the country wanted peace and stability in the region, adding that its desire for peace and friendship should not be taken as a sign of weakness. Responding to a question regarding the arrest of some members and leaders of banned groups, he said that this was part of the efforts made by the intelligence agencies to fulfil the government's commitment to prevent the country's soil from being used for terrorist activities against other countries. He said Pakistan would not hand over any suspects to India, adding that action would be taken against them according to the country's law. He said that the country had made a sincere offer of joint investigation into the Mumbai attacks, adding that India had not responded to the offer as yet.
