Pak could lose the war with India: Imran

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has admitted that in a conventional war his country could lose against India but it would trigger the nuclear war which would ravage both sides.

In an interview with Doha based TV Channel Al Jazeera, he raised the Kashmir issue and his country's resolve to fight for Kashmir.

To aquestion on his issuing a nuclear threat to India over Kashmir, Imran told thechannel: "There is no confusion. What I said is that Pakistan will never starta nuclear war. I am a pacifist, I am anti-war. I believe that wars do not solveproblems.

"Warhas unintended consequences. Look at the war in Vietnam, Iraq, the wars causedother problems, probably much more serious than what it was originally foughtfor. But I am clear that when two nuclear armed countries fight a conventionalwar, there is every possibility of it ending in a nuclear war."

"IfI say Pakistan, God forbid, and in a conventional war, and we are losing, andif a country is stuck between two choices, either you surrender or fight to thedeath for your freedom. I know Pakistan will fight to the death for freedom,when a nuclear armed country fights to the death, there are consequences" hewarned.

"Thatis why we have approached the UN, and are approaching every internationalforum, that they must act right now, as this (Kashmir) is a potential disasterthat will go way beyond the Indian subcontinent.

OnIndia's revocation of special status for Kashmir, he said that India had"annexed Kashmir illegally" and "unilaterally broken international laws".
