Maj. General (R )Aijaz Awanwas taken live on call and he seconded Dr. Tauqeer by saying that Pakistan should not indulge in any war but if the war is imposed Pakistan should be retaliating with full force. While talking about the Indian malicious statements about Pakistan he said that the world is not buying such arguments knowing the reality on ground and the state terrorist activities of India. He further added to the point that both the countries are nuclear powers and if the war breaks out between the two it would not be possible for any of them to control or estimate the response. And if the war crosses the conventional methods and turns into an atomic battle, both the nations would not be able to bear the losses. Pakistan in its armory and weapons is undoubtedly better than India and these weapons are of use in a war only and we will not be reluctant in this regard in any way, India also can cause loss to Pakistan but we can destroy India repeatedly, therefore both the countries should come to table talk.

Ahmed Lateef, Journalist, Senior Analyst further added to the discussion that both the atomic powers are not in a state to afford a war break out.

Faiz Ahmed Paracha, Journalist disseminated information about the ongoing Cabinet Meeting in Islamabad today; 13 points agenda is under discussion in the meeting including the problems being faced by media. The need to bring amendment in media-related laws is also under discussion. Ahmed Lateef added to the point that current ordinance covers the journalists and press only but media rather has expanded to a great extent and different types of media-related employees shall be considered.

Ahmed Lateef gave his conclusive remarks that both the countries have more serious issues to address such as poverty, unemployment, human rights and education rather than boasting about war-muscles and power show. Faiz Paracha added to the conclusion that Kashmir is the core issue to be discussed and solved through table talks and Muslim genocide by India in Kashmir is not hidden fact and world needs to interfere into the matter to stop state-terrorism by India.

Professor Fateh Muhamad Malik, Linguist, was taken live on call and he complained of Urdu not being given the very right as our national language. He said that not only Urdu but our mother’s languages are not being given proper environment to flourish and prosper. Ahmed Lateef added to the point by denoting languages to flowers that every kind of flower has its own colour and scent and all of those bear equal right to flourish therefore there should be no categorization in languages.
