I agree with Bajwa, but the Kashmir dispute needs to be resolved first.

Ok PTI folks, start calling him traitor now

 

[tarrar]

PA should accept the reality that India does not want peace with Pakistan & their sponsored terrorism against Pakistan will never end.

Pakistan is a peaceful country, such a nice story!

Can he explain 'jihad fisabilillah' and armed jihadi groups in his country?

Can you explain Vedic extremists like Modi et al in government in Bharat?

Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Qamar Javed Bajwa has said that Pakistan was a peace-loving country and wants to resolve all outstanding issues including the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir with India peacefully.



He said this while addressing a UK think-tank, the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said a press release issued by the ISPR here on Tuesday.

Sharing his thoughts on regional and international security environment, challenges and way forward, the army chief talked about the security situation in Afghanistan and its impact on peace and stability in the region and beyond.

According to the ISPR, Gen Bajwa also apprised the participants of Pakistan's achievements in its efforts against terrorism and militancy.

He also highlighted prospects of the CPEC project towards economic development in the region.

“Pakistan is a peace-loving country and wishes to resolve all unresolved issues including the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir with India,” he said.

The participants appreciated the candid talk of the army chief and acknowledged Pakistan army's contribution to peace and stability.

The COAS emphasised that peace in Afghanistan was a shared interest. He said that Pakistan will continue its positive role and was ready to work closely with Afghanistan.

He said Pak-Afghan bilateral border security mechanism is critically important and both countries need to formulate this at priority.

He shared various border control management measures Pakistan has undertaken and urged similar measures from the other side to defeat a common enemy.

Earlier, Gen Bajwa, who is currently visiting the United Kingdom, also addressed a London-based think tank, Royal United Services Institute (RUSI).

He said that Pakistan was positively engaged to bring about peace and stability in the region including Afghanistan.

Earlier, at a reception hosted by the Pakistan High Commission, Gen Bajwa interacted with the UK-based Pakistani community.

He hailed the role of overseas Pakistanis towards the progress of Pakistan and assured them that army shall perform its due role towards the security of the country.

We appreciate your gesture Mr Bajwa...Too much of hatred in our region from both sides...Both of our nation need visionary leaders to maintain peace on our relationship...

Bajwa is a huge disappointment asCOAS.
Army for war not peace. Such cowardly statements from him y encourage mad Modi to do more aggression

We can offer all the peace we want, Hindu will still want war.

well...if you had read the history of India-Pakistan wars from neutral sources without having any prejudice, I believe, you would not have made this statement!

1947
The first instance of an armed conflict between the two countries was immediately after Independence and Partition in October 1947. The fear of Kashmir acceding to India was what had triggered the struggle. The Pakistani Army infiltrated Kashmir through tribal forces in an attempt to occupy Kashmir.

1965
The war of 1965 was a result of Operation Gibralter carried out by Pakistani armed forces to occupy Kashmir.

1971
The war of 1971 was unique in the sense that this time Kashmir was not the bone of contention. It occurred as a result of the ongoing war between East Pakistan and West Pakistan. India formally entered into war with Pakistan after Pakistan carried out strikes on forward airbases and radar installations of the Indian Air Force.

1999
The Kargil war of 1999 took place immediately following the Pakistani army’s infiltration into the Kargil district in Kashmir. The Indian army retaliated in an effort to drive out the Pakistani infiltrators.

2008 (Unfortunately, India didn't retaliate this time!!!)
Ten Pakistani men associated with the terror group Lashkar-e-Tayyiba stormed buildings in Mumbai, killing 164 people. Nine of the gunmen were killed during the attacks, one survived. Mohammed Ajmal Kasab, the lone surviving gunman, was executed in India in November 2012

Kashmir was and is a disputed area. That covers Kargil as well. Any army crossing in to any part of Kashmir is not crossing an international border as it is disputed territory.

Indian Army crossed international borders in 65 and 71.

The problem is that you Hindus think that Kashmir is not a disputed territory yet the world does!! Armies fighting in disputed territories is not the same as sending armies across an international border that India has done twice.

These are facts for you. No historian would deny them.
