‘Time to extend hand of peace’: Pakistan Army chief Gen Bajwa

In a surprise statement on Tuesday, Pakistan Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa said that the country is committed to the ideal of mutual respect and peaceful co-existence and “it is time to extend a hand of peace in all directions”.He was speaking at the graduation ceremony of Pakistan Air Force cadets with an aim to reach out to India.“Pakistan and India must also resolve the longstanding issue of Jammu and Kashmir in a dignified and peaceful manner as per the aspirations of people of Jammu and Kashmir and bring this human tragedy to its logical conclusion,” General Bajwa said according to a statement issued by the military.His remarks, however, were a sharp contrast to his pitch against India, particularly after New Delhi carried out aerial strikes at terror training camps in Pakistan
