"Pakistan has learnt its lesson", says Shehbaz Sharif but rakes Kashmir matter again

Islamabad, Jan 17: Changing stance regarding India, Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif has come to the conclusion saying that "We now have learned our lesson and we wish to stay in peace".

 

As Pakistan is witnessing a rise in terror attacks after Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) ended ceasefire with security forces in late November, Sharif has called for a “critical and honest talk" with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on “burning points like Kashmir."

 

His remarks came in an interview with Dubai-based Arabic news television channel Al Arabiya. Sharif said that the three wars with India has "solely introduced extra distress, poverty and unemployment to the individuals."

 

"My message to the Indian management and PM Modi is that allow us sit down on the desk and have critical and honest talks to resolve our burning points like Kashmir. It’s as much as us to stay peacefully and make progress or quarrel with one another, and waste time and assets," the Pakistani PM said.

"We now have three wars with India and it solely introduced extra distress, poverty and unemployment to the individuals. We now have learnt our lesson and we wish to stay in peace, but for that we should be capable of resolving our real issues," he added.

The Pakistan Muslim League (N) leader further said that both the countries are nuclear powers and are well armed. "God forbids, if a warfare breaks out, who will stay to tell what had happened," he said.

Pakistan PM Shehbaz Sharif's remarks come at a time when his country is surrounded by increased terror attacks, severe economic crisis and intensified political instability
