[quote]A day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused it of indulging in a proxy war against India, Pakistan on Wednesday hit back by dubbing it as “baseless rhetoric” and said both countries should focus on resolving issues instead of engaging in blame game.

“The press reports of Indian accusations, at the highest political level, are most unfortunate, especially as the leadership of Pakistan wishes to establish good neighbourly relations with India,” Pakistan Foreign Office Spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam said.

“Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s visit to India in May was in this spirit and generated a fresh momentum in the bilateral relationship,” she said in a statement.

Mr. Modi, in his address to the Army and Air Force troops on his maiden trip to Leh, had said, “It is unfortunate about our neighbour’s attitude...they have lost the power to fight a war but they use proxy war.[/quote]
:downs:
They don't have the balls to admit that there might at least be some elements in the state that support such proxy action independent of central guidance, even if the state itself doesn't support such action.

I don't either, it's just that they've indulged so often in breaking the peace and the ceasefire even (one incident where Pakistani troops beheaded a couple of our guys after killing the rest of the patrol they were in) that one must take anything they say and any counters they make with a big pinch of salt.
Nor do I deny that maybe the PM couldn't have phrased it in a better fashion, but when our last PM said much the same thing, they dismissed that as 'baseless rhetoric' too so take it how you will.
