00:00My question to the government of India is, can we afford a miscalculation of what we have and what you have?
00:23The problem is where do we go from here?
00:26This is very important. I am addressing India now.
00:30It is very important that we use a little intelligence and wisdom here.
00:37All the big wars in the world, all the wars have been miscalculated.
00:44No one had thought where the war would go when it started.
00:50The first world war was to end in months, it took 6 years.
00:53The second world war was when Hitler thought of conquering Russia.
01:01He did not think that Russia would be destroyed by the winter.
01:07Similarly, the war on terror, did the US think that it would be stuck in Afghanistan for 17 years?
01:15The Vietnam war, did the US think that it would go so far?
01:19The history of the world tells us that there is miscalculation in wars.
01:26My question to the government of India is, can we afford a miscalculation of what we have and what you have?
01:36Should we not think that if it escalates from here, where will it go?
01:44Neither will it be in my control, nor will it be in Narendra Modi's control.
01:50That is why I invite you again, that when we are ready,
01:55we told you that the tragedy of your Palwama,
02:02the pain that you have been through,
02:05if you want to have a dialogue on terrorism, we are ready.
02:08But I will tell you again, that better sense should prevail.
02:16We should sit down and solve our problems through dialogue.
