ISLAMABAD - Pakistan wants peace with India and should focus on health and education, the Pakistani president said on Saturday during a parade to show off its military might following a tense stand-off between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
In their first such clash since their last war, in 1971, Pakistan downed an Indian plane and captured its pilot after he ejected over Pakistan-controlled Kashmir.The president, who largely holds ceremonial duties, said India had blamed Pakistan for the suicide-bomb attack without evidence, which he said was irresponsible.
"Today's parade is sending the message that we are a peaceful people but we will never be oblivious of our defence," Mr Alvi said.
