NEW DELHI: India has warned Pakistan of more pain if it continues to violate a ceasefire along the Kashmir border.
“Our conventional strength is far more than theirs. So if they persist with this, they’ll feel the pain of this adventurism,” the Indian defence minister Arun Jaitley said on Tuesday in an interview with NDTV.
“When Pakistan used to fire, we always had a shield in our hand. This time we also had a sword,” Jaitley said.
The Indian defence minister further said that it’s up to Islamabad to create the conditions for a resumption of peace talks.
“Of course we can talk to Pakistan, but it is up to Pakistan to create an atmosphere for talks. Pakistan has to stop triggers which upset the environment in which talks are held,” he said.
