ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday described as “incorrect” a media report that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had contended the Kashmir issue was a flashpoint which “can trigger a fourth war” with India.

“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,” said a statement issued by his office. The Dawn had quoted Sharif as saying that “Kashmir is a flashpoint and can trigger a fourth war between the two nuclear powers at any time”.
