New Delhi, Islamabad Dec 5: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has said there is no possibility of Pakistan winning any war against India, at least "during his lifetime".
Reacting to a reported statement by Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif that has since been denied, Singh said "there is no scope of Pakistan winning any such war in my lifetime". The PM's remarks came as response to questions at the annual Navy Day reception in the Capital Wednesday.
The PM's reaction was to an alleged statement by Sharif that appeared in newspaper Dawn.
"Kashmir is a flashpoint and can trigger a fourth war between the two nuclear powers at any time," the newspaper quoted Sharif as saying. The report said he made the remarks during a brief address to the Council of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in Muzaffarabad Tuesday.
But the Sharif's office Wednesday denied any such remark. A statement from his office said: "Prime Minister of Pakistan never uttered these words and the news item is baseless, incorrect and based on malafide intentions."
"Prime Minister Muhammad Nawaz Sharif is of the opinion that any issue of conflict between Pakistan and India has to be resolved through peaceful means," the statement read.
During a meeting with leaders of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference in Muzaffarabad Tuesday, Sharif had said it was his desire that the Kashmir issue should be resolved at the earliest.

Rajnath Singh accuses AAP govt of not implementing Centre's schemes in Delhi

New Delhi, Feb 4: Senior BJP leader and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Monday accused Delhi's ruling Aam Aadmi Party of not implementing the central government's schemes in the national capital.
Addressing an election rally in Moti Bagh, he also sought to allay fears over the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), assuring the gathering that the legislation will not take away anyone's citizenship.
Singh alleged that the Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led Delhi government did not do anything in the last five years.
The AAP had promised to add 5,000 buses to the fleet of the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC), but instead the number has come down by 1,000, he claimed.
The Union minister said the AAP dispensation did not implement central schemes in Delhi fearing that the popularity of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government will grow among Delhiites.
Pension schemes and the Centre's flagship health insurance scheme, Ayushman Bharat Yojana, are some of those that the Kejriwal government did not allow to be implemented in Delhi.
On the anti-CAA protests, Singh said that the opposition parties have been spreading "lies" about amended citizenship law and the National Population Register (NPR).
"The CAA will not take away anyone's citizenship. The opposition parties are spreading lies about the CAA. There should be no such politics over this. Some people are trying to write the history of the country with the ink of hatred," he said.
The culture of India is such that it considers the entire world one family, he said.
Delhi goes to polls on February 8. The results will be declared on February 11.
