Pakistan says it is prepared to defend itself

Islamabad: Pakistan on Sunday asserted that it was prepared to defend itself if any aggression or war was imposed on the country, even as Islamabad said it would be “irresponsible” to speculate on the Mumbai attacks before the results of the probe are out. “We do not want aggression or war and we want peace. But if war is imposed on us, we have the capability and right to defend ourselves,” Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told reporters in Multan in reply to a question about the tensions between India and Pakistan.

“Pakistan’s defence and security is complete. Pakistan’s government and armed forces are alert. We have every right to defend the country,” he added. — PTI
