I am listening to the actual press conference - he says a lot of stuff that isn't printed in the article. This article is pure spin from Dawn.
For example;
- He says PK has 200,000 soldiers deployed on Afghan border, peace in Afghanistan will mean they are redeployed away from there. He says Afghan peace process is important for that. He says India is trying to take advantage of that deployment thinking it is a weak point for us that we are unable to respond fully.
- He says India thinks we are stuck, but any misadventure will be met by the same fate as they got on 27th Feb.
He talks about this diagram;
He says India has launched sub conventional war on us for 20 years.
He talks about a spectrum of responses. He states;
Military, intelligence, diplomacy, information, finance, law etc. He says Pakistan is responding on all of these fronts.
Talks about false flags and potential for loc violations - says they're ready to respond.
Denies any deal over Kashmir - "over our dead bodies".
Asked if war is not an option. Said it is the role of FM to resolve things via diplomacy, says PM has a similar role. Says if other options don't succeed, war becomes an option, sometimes by compulsion. We will go to any extent.
Asked about nuclear red lines, including cold start. He said it is a detterence, but won't say anything specific, it is state policy. He says such policies aren't made or changed in press conferences.
Asked about redeployment away from Afghan border. He said once there is peace, focus will be 100% on eastern border. He said no plans of decisions will be announced in press conferences. He said every scenario is planned for. He said we don't take the first step until we've prepared the last step.
Asked about recognition with Israel - He said Pakistan has been under a hybrid war and propaganda is a component on that. Such talk is to sow division. Any such conversation is propaganda. He said it is a decision of the state and a question to put to the foreign office, but as far as he knows nothing has changed from our historical stance.
Talks about Iran - he says cooperation on fencing carrying on, increasing cooperation.
