Kashmir may lead to a direct war between two nuclear armed countries: Pervaiz Khattak
ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Minister for Defence Pervaiz Khattak said that the world’s inaction over Kashmir might lead to a direct military confrontation between the two nuclear armed neighbours.
Addressing a ceremony in Nowshera, the defence minister said that Pakistan does not desire a war, but would respond to any Indian aggression in a befitting manner.
He also said some eight million Kashmiris are facing the worst atrocities at the hands of Indian occupation forces. He said Prime Minister Imran Khan has exposed the real face of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who is committing Muslims' genocide in the held valley.
Pervez Khattak said India has denied the Kashmiris their right to self-determination, which it had accepted as per the United Nations' resolutions.
Curfew and lockdown continued at 43rd consecutive day on Monday (today) in Indian Occupied Kashmir (IoK) from August 5 when Narendra Modi government announced scraping of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.
The occupied territory continued to reel under strict military siege and curfew on the 43rd consecutive day as all markets are closed while transport is off the road.
