Pakistan on Saturday rejected Indian objections to a proposed $ 1.3 billion US arms sale to Islamabad, saying its "modest" defence requirements should not irk New Delhi. "Indian comments were unwarranted," a foreign ministry spokesman said in a statement.
"It is incomprehensible that India, which has a massive weaponisation and weapon acquisition programme, should object to Pakistan's modest defence requirements," the foreign ministry spokesman said.
"Pakistan is ready to engage India purposefully on question of strategic and conventional restraint.
We have made proposals for establishing a stability and strategic restraint regime in South Asia," he said.
