Islamabad: Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani
Monday described the Indian Army chief's comments about the
possibility of a limited war under a nuclear overhang as
"irresponsible" and said "conflicts" between Pakistan and
India could only be resolved through dialogue.
Gilani made the remarks while interacting with the media
before embarking on a four-day official visit to Germany and
Britain.
He was responding to a question about Indian Army chief
Gen Deepak Kapoor's recent comment that "a limited war under a
nuclear overhang is still very much a reality in the Indian
subcontinent".
"Conflicts between Pakistan and India can only be
resolved through dialogue and even India is aware of this," he
said.
In response to another question, he said Pakistan had
rendered more sacrifices than other countries in the war on
terror.
Gilani described Germany as a key economic partner of
Pakistan and said his visit will help boost ties between the
two countries.
The premier will exchange views on bilateral ties and
global and regional matters with the top leadership of Germany
and Britain.
