Islamabad: The Pakistani military has said that "India is the only external threat for Pakistan." The Pakistani military told this to a senate defence committee.

General Rashad Mahmood, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee, briefed the committee members on Thursday, Dawn online reported on Friday.

The committee, led by Mushahid Hussain, was also informed that "India had purchased weapons worth $100 billion over the last couple of years -- 80 percent of which were Pakistan-specific."

"The Indian Army would be buying weapons worth another $100 billion," the report added.

"The situation was particularly volatile in view of the suspended dialogue between the two countries and absence of any conflict resolution mechanism," the army official said.
