F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif has said that the recent statement of Indian Army chief was irresponsible and unnecessary.

Khawaja Asif said that India may test Pakistan’s resolve if that is what it wishes to do. He added that the recent statement of Indian Army chief is the invitation to amount for nuclear encounter and adding that If that is what they (India) desire, they are welcome to test our resolve. The general’s doubt would swiftly be removed.
