No scope of Pakistan winning war in my lifetime, says Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today said there is no scope of Pakistan winning a war against India in my lifetime. His statement came hours after a Pakistani newspaper reported that Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had said Kashmir could trigger a fourth war between India and Pakistan. Mr Sharifs office has since denied that he made that statement. The Dawn said today that Mr Sharif had, during a trip to Pakistan-Occupied Kashmir, said, Kashmir is a flashpoint and can trigger a fourth war between the two nuclear powers at anytime.The paper claimed he made his comments in an address to the council of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in Muzaffarabad yesterday. The Pakistan Prime Ministers office described the Dawn report as incorrect and based on malafide intentions.However, in a statement thats certain to serve as an irritant for India, Mr Sharifs office said that he had announced during his trip that he has a dream of seeing held-Kashmir free from the Indian occupation and desired that this dream could turn into reality during his lifetime. In recent months, the violations of the ceasefire along the de facto border or Line of Control in Kashmir have been the worst in nearly a decade.In September, Mr Sharif met with Dr Manmohan Singh at the UN General Assembly in New York and both leaders said they would ensure their military commanders work on restoring the ceasefire...!
