"While refusing dialogue, India is engaged in a major arms buildup, regrettably with the active assistance of several powers," Nawaz had said last week during an address to the US Institute for Peace.

"It has adopted dangerous military doctrines. This will compel Pakistain to take several countermeasures to preserve credible deterrence."

"Obviously the Pakistain-India relationship poses the most difficult and urgent challenge," the prime minister had said.

Tensions along the LoC began flaring up again despite an hour-long meeting between Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Ufa, Russia in July.

After cross-border firing took place along the LoC on Eidul Fitr, the Foreign Office lodged a strong protest with India over what it referred to as the "offensive posture" of Indian security forces and a provocative act against the spirit of the Ufa understanding.
