ISLAMABAD – Pakistan yesterday told Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that no wedge could be drawn between the civil and military leadership of Pakistan as the latter was committed to supporting the democratic process.
Modi had said earlier it was hard to decide who to speak to in Pakistan for peace between the two nuclear armed neighbours, whether to the democratically elected government or ‘other actors’.
He had added: “That is why India will have to be on alert all the time. India will have to be on alert every moment.There can never be any laxity in this regard.”
Modi had further said he and PM Nawaz Sharif were sincere for peace between the two countries and it was in this spirit that they exchanged visits – first by Sharif in 2014 and second by him in 2015.
Addressing the weekly media briefing here, Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakariya said the people of Pakistan take great pride in the armed forces and respect them over their sacrifices for the country.
“Nobody can drive a wedge between the civilian and military leadership which is committed to supporting the democratic process,” he added, citing Modi’s statement
