If India attacks, Pakistan will retaliate: Imran Khan on Pulwama attack

Islamabad | Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan today said that if the Indian government thinks to attack Pakistan, they will face retaliation from its neighbours.

Issuing a policy statement on the Pulwama Attack, Imran Khan said,” If you (Indian govt) thinks you will attack us and we will not think of retaliating, we will retaliate. We all know starting a war is in the hands of humans, where it will lead us only God knows. This issue should be solved through dialogue.”

Responding to India’s claim of having a role in the Pulwama attack where 40 CRPF personnel were killed, Imran Khan said,”It is in our interest that nobody from our soil spreads violence.” Assuring a action on the people involved in the attack, Khan said,” I want to tell Indian govt that we will take action if evidence is found against anyone from Pakistan.” He further questioned that Pakistan won’t be benefited by the attack when it is moving towards stability.

Criticising the Indian government over the rise of involvement of Kashmiri youth is militant activity, Khan said,”India needs to introspect why the youth in Kashmir has become indifferent to death, how the govt has forced them to comply through Army’s presence.” The cricketer turned politician also blamed the Indian government that it is blaming Pakistan without any evidence.

40 CRPF personnel were killed in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pulwama district in a terrorist attack when a Jaish-e-Mohammed terrorist identified as Adil Ahmed rammed an explosives-laden vehicle into the bus they were travelling in. More than 2,500 Central Reserve Police Force personnel, many of them returning from leave to rejoin duty in the Valley, were travelling in the convoy of 78 vehicles when they were ambushed on the Srinagar-Jammu highway at Latoomode in Awantipora.
