President Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK)Sardar Masood Khan has suggested Pakistan to hold joint military exercises with China and keep its armed forces ready for full-fledged war as India can engage in any misadventure to save its face after standoff with China on Ladakh. He was of the view that present standoff between India and China is just because of Indian recent actions in India Occupied Kashmir (IoK). He was speaking as one of panelists during a live webinar on “India China Stand Off at Ladakh & Its Impacts on Kashmir Issue hosted by the Karachi Council on Foreign Relations (KCFR). Other panelists included Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed and Ambassador Mustafa Kamal Qazi. Ikram Sehgal – Chairman KCFR, Dr. Huma Baqai and Commodore Retd. Sadeed A. Malik – Secretary General KCFR also spoke. Sardar Masood Khan referred that during Indian elections, Prime Minister Modi threatened to occupy Kashmir and Siachin and in fact it was a direct threat for Pakistan and China. So India is facing today what it threatened off and had evil plans in mind, he added. China has never compromised on its sovereignty and it did so. Pakistan should further strengthen its relations with China and should have join exercises of armed forces along with having offensive diplomacy. Both countries should complement their strength. China have good number of friends in the world and Pakistan should also increase number of its friend countries, he emphasized. Senator Mushahid Hussain Syed told that India cannot fight with China however it can make its nation fool by engaging in any misadventure like it did in Ladakh. “India can do this in next few months or may be in September, so we should be ready for it,” he further stressed. China never wants to engage in war with India. President Trump offer for mediation between India and China was not serious rather ridiculous. This was alike as China may offer mediation on conflict between USA and Mexico. USA will never come for rescue of India if situation turn worse, President Sardar Masood Khan analyzed. Chairman Ikram Sehgal showed a banner “Kashmiri lives matter also” it was online with the American slogan carried that the “Black lives matter also…” He said that martyred Burhan Wani had become a symbol of independence movement of IoK. Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is now a new world order and can challenge existing world order, Sardar Masood Khan concluded. Senator Mushahid said it was now cleared that attack on Karachi Stock Exchange and other terrorist activities in Pakistan are mastered by India RAW. We are already engaged in hybrid warfare and we have to enhance our skills in it further, he added. Earlier Commodore (Retd) Sadeed Malik started the webinar and then invited Dr. Huma Baqai for further coordination.
