However, the spokesperson also noted that Pakistan prefers peace but will not remain quiet to any Indian aggression. The government in India is putting Pakistani government effort to open talks with New Delhi on the boil to score domestic political mileage. There are two major factors that might be at play when it comes to India saying no to Imran Khan’s offer of peace talks and rather choose to go on to diplomatic offensive. Shooting down such an offer should only reinforce Pakistan’s position that New Dehli considers any signal aimed at peace talks as a symbol of weakness. While warmongering can go on, what remains clear is that India cannot afford to risk war with Pakistan.
