During joint session of Parliament,Pakistan  prime minister Nawaz Sharif opened his speech by talking about what he termed the freedom struggle upheld by the youth of Kashmir who were fighting against “Indian aggression and atrocities”.
“We have done everything to make India come to the dialogue table, but india did not let it happen. Our efforts were thwarted over and over again. I would like to repeat our stance that we are against war. We want peace in the region. We want to resolve all outstanding disputes through dialogue.”
Touching on India’s allegations of Pakistan’s involvement in the Uri base attack, Nawaz said: “Without carrying out any investigation, India blamed Pakistan within a few hours of the attack. Through this one can see what India’s motives are.
“On Sept 28, India’s ceasefire violation resulted in the death of our two soldiers. It was befittingly responded and was conveyed that Pakistan Army is fully capable to respond to any aggression.”
In an apparent response to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement that India and Pakistan should battle to eradicate poverty, Nawaz said: “If they want us to fight with them to end poverty, then they should realise that poverty cannot be eradicated by driving tanks on farmlands.”
