Pak a nuclear power, we know how to defend ourselves: Sartaj Aziz

       

Pakistan’s National Security Advisor Sartaj Aziz has accused “Modi’s India” of acting like a regional superpower and said his nuclear-armed country was capable of defending itself.

Aziz’s comments came after the proposed talks with his Indian counterpart, scheduled for Monday, collapsed over New Delhi’s objection to the Pakistani NSA’s invitation to Hurriyat leaders for a breakfast meeting.

India has accused Pakistan of going beyond the framework for talks agreed upon by the Prime Ministers of the two countries Narendra Modi and Nawaz Sharif during their meeting in the Russian city of Ufa last month.

“Modi’s India acts as if they are a regional superpower, we are a nuclear-armed country and we know how to defend ourselves,” Aziz was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper. “India should realise after the current episode that their tactics are not working, and they need to be sincere about dialogue with Pakistan.”

He also asked India to hold a referendum in “occupied Kashmir” and the people would decide their own fate. Aziz also said that while Pakistan has evidence of India’s involvement in terrorism in his country, New Delhi has just propaganda against Pakistan.
