Sattar rejects concept of limited war

ISLAMABAD, MAY 1.The Pakistan Foreign Minister, Mr. Abdul Sattar, has said there was no concept of a limited war between two rival countries.

``If a country starts a war on a limited scale, there is no guarantee that it would remain limited. Any thing can happen,'' he said. Mr Sattar, in an interview with the Jang group of newspapers, was commenting on the likelihood of a restricted war between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue.

Mr Sattar, however, made it clear that Pakistan would not start any war with India. It would strive for peaceful resolution of disputes with its neighbour.
