Zen | 8 years ago | Reply @TM: The General is to retire end November. If your whole counrty relies on one man, than 1st. December will be fine with us.

Vectra | 8 years ago | Reply @TM: wait and watch

TM | 8 years ago | Reply India will never attack Pakistan as India is more concerned about the possible back lash by Pak rather than the people already died. Maximum what they do is - they will produce one or two films where they will be fighting with Pak army with Saif Ali Khan as Hero. As long as General Raheel Sheriff is - No body can dare to think of attacking Pakistan. It is better to Pack Nawaz Sheriff and hand over the full power to General Raheel Sheriff as Nawaz is useless.

Abhijeet | 8 years ago | Reply Obviously, India does not care any longer about Pakistan's nuclear threat. The nukes will be the first ones to be taken out.

Vectra | 8 years ago | Reply @Asim: Is commenting a time wasting,if that is so then ask your general to not waste time on giving useless threats as i said he very well know a task which not only he but entire Pakistan Army can't do. This is a fact Mr Asim and entire world including Pakistan and China as well knows it.Even China is now worried about Indian anger that may derail CPEC due to the new tensions created as reflected in Global times editorial knowing very well what damage India is capable of inflicting on Pakistan if war starts any time now.

Vectra | 8 years ago | Reply India will declare war on Pakistan and is now ready for even nuclear escalation which Pakistan is very fond of prodding up.If Pakistan wants nuclear game then let begin.This time India may be ready for nuclear escalation on its own and Indian's who mostly dislike Nukes and don't even like to talk about it are themselves now forcing Govt to call Pakistan's Nuclear bluff.Earlier every time Pakistani politicians and its supporters used to say it but now the demand has be raised by Indians themselves.

Asim | 8 years ago | Reply @Vectra: Is that so? then why are you wasting your time trying to prove it on Pakistani newspaper websites? Don't your country have even a single credible news website?

Vectra | 8 years ago | Reply Reminds me of 2014 when after just a few months of Mr Modi becoming PM he has given free hand to BSF in response to Pakistani infiltration and at that time also BSF inflicted heavy damage on Pakistan side war infrastructure literally forcing Pakistan Army Chief and Pakistan PM Nawaz to go to US to request them to persuade India to stop heavy artillery bombardments and simultaneously Pakistan media also toned down their ego filled war rhetoric in an attempt to not anger India further.At that time also this same Mr Raheel was Pakistan Army chief who then ran to US and is now seem to be in useless threatening mode a task which he can't do.

Pankaj | 8 years ago | Reply Yesterday Mr Raheel said that they are fully prepaired for any situtaion then why this stretching??

pk | 8 years ago | Reply Target DHA's in Lahore, islamabad & Pindi. They are their strategic assets. Pakistan don't have any industry. What we are going to get by bombing wheat fields, rice fields ?
