India creating war hysteria not Pakistan

India creating war hysteria not Pakistan



ISLAMABAD, Dec 28 (APP): Pakistan High Commissioner to the United Kingdom Wajid Shamshul Hassan said on Sunday that India is creating war hysteria and not Pakistan. India started building war hysteria and the Indian media has been publishing stories that the Indian Air Force is well poised to strike Pakistan on identified areas, he said in interview with CNN-IBN.
He said Pakistan has been playing very cool and has not been drawn into any controversy adding it has not replied to Indian diplomatic coercion.
“Pakistan has been telling India let’s talk. We have offered India joint investigation (into terrorism) but India has not responded”, he said.
He said, “Pakistan is carrying out a full-scale war against terrorism as no other country is doing. Pakistan has done more than its role in fighting terrorism.”
He said India has been using coercive diplomacy to isolate Pakistan but it will not succeed. If war is thrust on Pakistan it would defend itself.
Hassan said “our records do not prove that Kasab is a Pakistani national.”
Hassan said the Interpol chief had said India has not provided any evidence of Pakistani involvement in the Mumbai attacks or that Kasab was a Pakistani.
