Pakistan is fully capable of defending itself from Indian aggression, reported Radio Pakistan on Thursday citing Defence Minister Khawaja Asif.

“The extremist mentality with which Modi soared to great heights, the same mentality will trigger his fall,” averred the minister.

Asif said if Indians exhibited good intentions and were sincere, Pakistan would also desire for amicable ties with its neighbour. “India itself spoiled the atmosphere and created distances,” added the minister.

He also said that every effort that could be made for peace must be undertaken and initiated.

Islamabad recently handed over dossiers to the United States (US) and United Nations (UN) Secretary General on India’s involvement in terrorism inside Pakistan.

The dossiers, according to previous official statements, contained proofs about Indian involvement in Balo¬chistan, Federally Administered Tribal Areas and Karachi.

India in October had rejected a four-point peace plan for Kashmir proposed by Pakistan but said talks among officials of both countries on terrorism that collapsed in August should be revived.

Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had announced his proposal at the annual United Nations General Assembly session, saying the two nuclear-armed countries should formalise a ceasefire in Kashmir and take steps to demilitarise the divided region.
