Islamabad, December 21 (IANS): Amid escalating tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbours, a Pakistan Army Commander on Wednesday invited India to join the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and "share the fruits of future development by shelving anti-Pakistan activities and subversion". Addressing an awards distribution ceremony at Frontier Corps-Balochistan Headquarters in Quetta, Pakistan Army's Southern Command chief Lt. Gen. Amir Riaz said India should shun "enmity" with Pakistan and join the CPEC along with Iran, Afghanistan and other Central Asian countries and enjoy its benefits, Dawn reported. He said Balochistan was on the path to economic development and the common people could not be misled by the self-exiled leaders. "Their (India) catchy slogans will not work because the people are aware of their designs and they cannot be misled," Lt General Riaz said. He said Pakistan and its neighbours could benefit from CPEC projects while the people can enjoy peace and stability.
