Don’t make Pak ‘scapegoat’, we don’t want war: Gilani

Ruling out the possibility of a war with India in the wake of heightened tensions, Pakistan Premier Yousuf Raza Gilani on Wednesday alleged the Indian Government was trying to find a ‘scapegoat’ to cover up for the intelligence failure behind the Mumbai Terror attacks.
"My assessment is that there will not be a war," he said in Lahore.
However, he said the government and armed forces of Pakistan were prepared for all eventualities in the face of mounting tensions between the two countries.
"We are a responsible nation and we are assessing the situation. The armed forces of Pakistan are assessing the situation but I do not think there will be a war," he said.
"If they (India) try to indulge in any adventure of this kind, the people and institutions of Pakistan are united."
Gilani said there were indications that there was ‘great public pressure on the Indian government’ in the wake of the Mumbai attacks
