 "It would be blunder for Pakistan to think of India as a weak opponent: JD(U)")
Responding to Pakistan Home Minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan's statement that Islamabad will not be cowed down by India's hurling baseless accusations and threats, the Janata Dal (United) on Wednesday said Islamabad is not capable of challenging New Delhi.
JD(U) leader Rajeev Ranjan said it would be a blunder for Pakistan to consider India a weak opponent.
"We have never started a war from our side. War has always been initiated by Pakistan and we have given Pakistan a befitting reply in our style. And to think of India as a weak opponent is their mistake. And no matter what they say, the reality is that Pakistan does not have the calibre to challenge India," said Ranjan.
Khan, on Tuesday, warned India that Pakistan will not be cowed down by hurling baseless accusations and threats in the wake of a recent attack on an Indian army camp in Uri, which claimed lives of 18 soldiers.
