Pakistan will consider peace if India stops military action, Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar said he told US Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Saturday.

Dar told Pakistani broadcaster Geo News that he said the “ball is in India’s court” in his conversation with Rubio. “War is not our priority and we genuinely want peace but without hegemony of any country,” said Dar, who also serves as the country’s deputy prime minister.

Dar said his interactions with world leaders, including Rubio and the Saudi foreign minister, on Saturday morning had been “positive” and that he hopes talks with India can begin.

Asked about contact between the two countries’ militaries after the latest round of attacks, Dar said “messages have been exchanged on both sides”.

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif says the National Command Authority, the top military and civil body overseeing the country’s nuclear arsenal, has not held any meetings.

“Nor or is any such meeting scheduled,” he told ARY TV.

“This thing that you have spoken about [nuclear option] is present, but let’s not talk about it – we should treat it as a very distant possibility, we shouldn’t even discuss it in the immediate context,” Asif said.

“Before we get to that point, I think temperatures will come down.”

People in Srinagar panicked after blasts’
Journalist Umar Mehraj, reporting from Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir, says the two loud explosions heard in the city earlier left locals in a state of panic.

He said the blasts “were heard when shops and businesses were opening”, adding that there was not yet an official explanation as to what had happened.

“Many people say they have never witnessed such large explosions in their lives … Saturday’s blasts were louder and more intense than the ones heard on Friday,” he added.

Mehraj stressed that people living in the neighbourhoods close to military installations in the city are particularly worried as they believe they could be hit in the ongoing conflict.

“They fear that they don’t have any safety facilities, such as bunkers, in case of more attacks,” he said. “What we are witnessing on the ground is very unusual.”
