MULTAN, Pakistan (AP) — Pakistan warned India on Thursday not to launch a strike against it
and vowed to respond to an attack, yet another indication that the relationship between the
nations remained strained in the wake of the attacks last month in Mumbai, India.
Though the rivals have engaged in accusations in recent weeks, both sides have repeatedly said they hope to avoid conflict. But India has not ruled out the use of force in response to the attacks, which it says were carried out by an Islamic militant group based in Pakistan.
“We want peace, but should not be complacent about India,” Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi of Pakistan said in Multan, which is in central Pakistan. “We should hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.”
Pakistan and India have fought three wars since the partition of the Indian subcontinent at independence from Britain in 1947.
Pakistan’s prime minister, Yousaf Raza Gilani, echoed Mr. Qureshi’s sentiments, urging other nations to pressure India to defuse the current tension.
