Could Pakistan and India can war?

Could India and Pakistan really go to war? It almost seems an absurd question to ask.

After all, both countries have long been nuclear powers — a deterrent that encompasses the lives of a combined 1.4 billion people. Both nations have also seen some years of relative peace along their border, a break from the wars that pockmarked the 20th Century.

And yet, hours after 18 were killed in an attack on an army base in Indian-administered Kashmir, the director-general of military operations for the Indian Army announced that the terrorists carried gear which had “Pakistani markings.”

Jamaat-e-Islami Chief Sirajul Haq said on Saturday that India is creating war hysteria to divert the world’s attention from its atrocities in Kashmir but also added that in case of war, New Delhi would face a Pakistan which is a thousand times stronger than it was in 1965.Addressing the JI Youth festival under the aegis of the JI women wing at Aiwan-e-Iqbal, he stressed upon the world community to take notice of India’s war plans and its threats to Pakistan in order to save the region from the horrors of war

The JI chief said that Pakistan was united as a nation to face any challenge. Stressing over the role women played in the 1965 war, Haq said that even Pakistani women had come out of their homes with batons to deal with the enemy and added that no enemy could defeat a nation whose women and children were imbued with such a spirit.

Haq deplored that while the enemy was preparing for war, rulers in Islamabad were busy in amassing wealth. “A system based on injustice and exploitation is going on in the country, while the masses are deprived of basics of life the ruling elite is enjoying luxuries.”
