Pakistan says a thorough investigation should be done before anyone starts pointing fingers.

Pakistan Prime Minster Nawaz Sharif while addressing the annual United Nations General Assembly has said that Pakistan cannot ignore India's "unprecedented" arms build-up and that Pakistan would "take all necessary measures to maintain credible deterrence".

"The international community ignores the danger of rising tensions in South Asia at its own peril. For its part, Pakistan is committed to the establishment of strategic stability in the region. It neither wants, nor is it engaged in an arms race with India. But we cannot ignore our neighbours unprecedented arms build up and we'll take whatever measures are necessary to maintain credible deterrence," said Nawaz Sharif.

Every time Pakistan has asked to bring all outstanding issues on the table, the Pakistan prime minister says India puts unacceptable conditions on dialogue with Pakistan.

"Pakistan wants peace with India. We have gone the extra mile to achieve this, repeatedly offering a dialogue to address all outstanding issues. But India has posed unacceptable preconditions to engage in a dialogue.Talks are in the interest of both countries. They are essential to resolve our differences, especially in Jammu and Kashmir dispute and to avoid the danger of any escalation," said Nawaz Sharif.

Experts say that Pakistan has always stood by the kashmiri people and will continue to do so. And they say that India must recognize this and end the continuing bloodshed by its occupying forces.
