Gandapur had further added, “I believe that Pakistan will fight and when a nuclear-armed country fights till the end it will consequence far beyond the borders
Islamabad: On Tuesday a Minister from Pakistan sparked controversy when he said that missiles will be fired at any country that extends its support to India on the scrapping of Jammu and Kashmir’s special status.
“If tensions with India rise on Kashmir, Pakistan will be compelled to go for war. Those countries backing India and not Pakistan over Kashmir will be considered our enemy and a missile will be fired at India and those nations supporting it, “quoted the Minister for Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit Baltistan Ali Amin Gandapur as saying during an event on Tuesday.
A Pakistan minister Ali Amin Gandapur has courted controversy by saying that any country that will support India over the Kashmir issue will be hit by a missile by Pakistan and considered as an “enemy” of Islamabad.
Some videos of his speech started trending on social media after it was shared by Pakistan-based journalist Naila Inayat.
Tensions have remained high between India and Pakistan ever since the abrogation of Article 370 happened on 5th August. Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan had even raised the issue at length during his maiden address at the UN General Assembly in New York in September.
“If a conventional war starts between the two countries anything could happen. A country seven times smaller than its neighbour what will it do either surrender or fight for its freedom,” said Gandapur.
Gandapur had further added, “I believe that Pakistan will fight and when a nuclear-armed country fights till the end it will consequence far beyond the borders. I am warning you. It’s not a threat but worries about where are we heading. If this goes wrong you hope for the best but prepare for the worst.”
Pakistan’s new provocation from Ali Amin Gandapur comes even as 23 European parliamentarians visited Srinagar to take stock of the ground situation. Among the members, a Spanish parliamentarian Hermann Tertsch said that the delegation members were “very conscious” that “some people were being kept away” from them.
