Pakistan is a peaceful country; India poses perpetual threat to nation, says its army
Pakistan Army said on Thursday that India posed a “perpetual threat” to the country which has made its eastern border “unsafe”.
Army spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor’s remarks came during a press briefing about security threats to Pakistan.
Ghafoor said Pakistan faced different kinds of challenges on the eastern and western borders due to different nature of threat and the critical question was “whether the threat is because of a state or non-state actors”.
“Threats from India (in the east) are perpetual. We are a peaceful country and we do not want war with them, but we will defend ourselves and have the capability to do so,” he said.
