Pak too small to pose threat to India: Fernandes

IRNA

New Delhi, Oct 30, IRNA -- India`s Defense Minister George Fernandes 
has said that Pakistan is not a threat to India as it is "too small a 
country to be afraid of" even as he maintained there had been no 
meaningful change in cross border terrorism in the last six months. 
While asserting there was no normalcy on the border with 
Pakistani troops indulging in constant firing on Indian posts, 
Fernandes said in military terms Islamabad "can`t be, can never be a 
threat to India", reported Press Trust of India (PTI). 
"Pakistan is too small a country for us to be afraid of", the 
Defense Minister said in an interview with Karan Thapar for BBC`s 
"Hard Talk - India" program to be telecast on Friday. 
On cross border terrorism, Fernandes said there was no 
meaningful changes. "You can`t say that today it is at certain level 
because tomorrow it could be at another level. There are ups and down 
but nothing that is meaningful", he said.
