Pak Army says no space for war with India Islamabad, June 4 (PTI): Pakistan Army today said that there was no space for any war with India as both are nuclear powers, but warned that its desire for peace should not be mis- taken for weakness. Addressing a press con- ference, Maj Gen Asif Gha- foor, the Director General of Inter-Services Public Re- lations (ISPR) - the media wing of the army, accused India of carrying out 1,077 ceasefire violations since the start of 2018 to date. “Our defence, our de- sire for peace, should not be mistaken for weakness,” Ghafoor said. “War happens when diplomacy fails,” he said, adding the two sides re- mained in touch with each other over bilateral issues but India backed out of having a dialogue. Ghafoor said Pakistan had not responded to In- dian firing, which followed an agreement by the two countries’ militaries last week to adhere to the 2003 ceasefire agreement, but was “compelled” to re- spond only when civilians were targeted. “If India fires the first bullet and no harm is occurred, we will not re- spond. If India fires the second bullet, then we will give a befitting response,” he said. Ghafoor said Pakistan wants to respect the truce agreement. EastErn Mirror | Dimapur, Tuesday, June 5, 2018 Kanye West was diagnosed with ‘mental condition’ at 39 Rapper Kanye West has revealed that he was diagnosed with a “mental condi- tion” when he was 39. He called it a “superpower”. “I had never been diagnosed until I was 39,” Kanye, now 40, said during an interview recorded with radio Mirror host Big Boy following the 40-year-old rapper’s Wyoming party for his new 10 album “YE”, reports people.com. After clarifying that he was diagnosed with a “mental condition”, Kanye added: “But like I said on the album, it’s not a dis- ability, it’s a superpower”. Although the musician declined to specify what he ENTERTAINMENT had been diagnosed with during the interview, Kanye had already confirmed on his new album that he is bipolar, calling it his “superpower”.
