India Warns Pak | Can Pakistan run away from reality: The Newshour Debate (11th June 2015)

In a debate moderated by TIMES NOW's Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami, panelists -- Maroof Raza, Consulting Editor, Strategic Affairs; K C Singh, Former Secretary, MEA; Commodore (Retd) G J Singh, Defence Analyst; Rashneek Kher, Founder Member, Roots in Kashmir; Major General (Retd) Rashid Qureshi, Former Spokesperson to General Musharraf; Air Vice Marshall (Retd) Abid Rao, Defence Analyst and Brig (Retd) Javed Hussain, Former Pakistan Army Special Forces Officer -- discuss the issue -- can Pakistan run away from reality?
Pakistan on Thursday (June 11) escalated its attack over "irresponsible and imprudent" statements from India with Premier Nawaz Sharif vowing to protect his country's "vital interests at all costs" while Parliament condemned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's remarks in Dhaka. A resolution passed by Parliament said Pakistan's armed forces are fully capable of giving a befitting response to any incursion. The action came in the wake of statements by Indian ministers over the army offensive in Myanmar that Pakistan claimed were a threat to it.
Addressing a conference of Pakistan's envoys in Islamabad, Sharif said such statements vitiate the atmosphere and take the two countries away from goals of regional peace and stability. "The entire nation is dismayed by the recent irresponsible and I must say imprudent statements from the Indian political leadership. This vitiates the atmosphere and takes us further away from our goal of regional peace and stability. We will protect our vital interests at all costs," he said. This message, Sharif said, must be heard loud and clear. "At the same time we will not abandon our high moral ground because of provocations. We will continue our quest for a peaceful neighbourhood but there should be reciprocity and acknowledgement of the overtures Pakistan has made to promote the dialogue process," he said.
