Arms race between Pakistan and India must end: Nawaz LONDON - A crippling arms race between Pakistan and India must "come to an end" and the two rivals should settle their conflict over Kashmir, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif told The Daily Telegraph on Friday. In his first interview since taking office, Nawaz spoke with passion about the need to achieve peace with his neighbour and reduce the burden of defence spending. India and Pakistan have been locked in confrontation over Kashmir ever since Britain left the sub- continent in 1947. Today, India deploys an army of 1.1 million men, Pakistan has 550,000 regular soldiers and the two rivals have amassed nuclear arsenals.
