Federal Defence Minister Ch Ahmed Mukhtar has said that Pakistan does not have the capacity to fight prolonged battle with India adding that ties with India would normalise gradually.
“ In the past wars Pakistan and India had capacity to fight for only 22 days but now since India had increased his military might it might have enhanced its capacity to fight war for 45 days but Pakistan does not have that much capacity”, Ahmed Mukhtar said in an interview with the BBC Urdu service
In response to a question regarding Abbottabad Commission, set up for investigating the unilateral strike of US forces in Pakistan and presence of Osama Bin Laden, he said the commission has not even yet started working and already it is being criticised. He said the recommendations of the commission would be implemented in letter and spirit.
He said army also wants for the commission to finish its report at the earliest so the responsible are punished
In response to a question regarding dialogue with Taliban he said we are in favour of dialogue with all Taliban. He said Taliban have ties with several Middle Eastern countries and Taliban go to Saudi Arabia for dialogue. Even our religious organisations have contact with them.
Ahmed Mukhtar said we also want a peaceful solution to the problems of Afghanistan. We want peace to prevail in Afghanistan so that refugees can go back to their country so that peace can prevail in our country as well. we have also suffered much, the defence minister said.
All the more reason not to provoke a suicidal nuke nation
If Ahmed Mukhtar were to touch gold, it would become copper, because that is the sort of business man he is. Whenever he comes into power, his assets rise astronomically, while the departments under his ministry are riddled by corruption, kickbacks and mismanagement. Look at what he has done to PIA. It was first his elder brother who ruined this airline and now it is his turn. Pakistan cricket has been ruined by his brother-in-law. Mukhtar is rumoured to have already got a Canadian nationality–he is all set to make a clean getaway, when the shit hits the roof.
When Pakistan's military establishment was facing itys worst crisis in the month of May 2011, its Defense Minister was absent and preferred to go on foreign visits with the President or the PM to sign business deals with attractive kickbacks. When PNS Mehran was attacked the DM was in USA trying to negotiate in a hurry a deal for procuring more aircrafts for cash starved PIA. He is the front man for AZ, whilst the frontmen for Ahmed Mukhtar is a former employee of Duty Free Shops based in Isloo.
I agree. Pakistan cannot fight even 3 days in the current environment. Every thing is a mess. Terrorists and militants have severely weakedned the country. Politicians are scum bags.
