Your Opinion
Due to the recently conducted Agni II missile test by India, there are chances of further escalation in Indo-Pak tension. What strategy, in your opinion, should Pakistan adopt in this regard?
India does
not have the guts to wage a war on Pakistan.

Our diplomats should campaign aggressively in
the media. We must take this opportunity to boost up our diplomatic
efforts to knock down India's image and present India as an arrogant
and irresponsible country govern by fanatics. Pakistan should restrain herself
and not conduct any test in reply.

Pakistan should not conduct any missile test in
reaction to avoid further escalation in Indo-Pak tension.

I believe that Pakistan has to focus on a
communication initiative to win over the Western public opinion. Any missile
test in reaction would be childish.

The
Agni II missile test is an opportunity for Pakistan to demonstrate its deterrent
capabilities to India in particular and the world in general; a nations
readiness and means to defend itself is the best way of preventing a war.

It is not
mandatory for Pakistan to conduct missile test in response.

Pakistan should respond
immediately by conducting equivalent missile test.

I feel that Pakistan should also continue the
tests.

We should also conduct missile tests as India did.

Pakistan should refrain from conducting missile tests in
response.

We should not conduct missile tests in reply.

India has wrongly conceived that perhaps pressure
can only be exerted through such tactics. Pakistan, at this stage, will not play
irresponsible and it has the capability to display such tests any time. India
wants Pakistan to react irresponsibly to be discredited.

In
response to India's Agni II missile test, Pakistan should test Shaheen II
ignoring all the pressure from US or any other country.

I strongly condemn India's Agni II missile test. Pakistan should not conduct any
missile test at this stage and show tolerance.

Strategically speaking, by adapting these actions, India is putting more
pressure on

India's Agni II missile test is an ill-timed step as
of the ongoing Indo-Pak high tension. If the international community does not
show a serious concern over India's missile development program, Pakistan should
also test the Shaheen II missile as an immediate response. Though the missile
race in South Asia is a serious threat to peace in the region, but Pakistan must
respond very strongly to India's such steps.

The recently conducted Agni 11 missile test by India is an open challenge to all
the Muslim world.

We should not
give importance to any experimental explosions by India and rather concentrate
on country’s development.

The timing is just right for Pakistan to show
restraint and preach non-violence. It is about time we should show the world
that we use our left side of the brain.
Mohammed Hashim Waris
India is trying to provoke Pakistan to take the
first step in starting war.
Ahmed Raza

Pakistan should not conduct any nuclear tests in reply.
Arsalan Rizvi

Pakistan, without any delay, should also conduct
missile test.
