Pakistan Army is ready for India: Imran Khan
Islamabad/ IBNS: With the India-Pakistan tension simmering since the beginning of the year over post-Pulwama Balakot strike and the post-Article 370 Kashmir reality, Imran Khan once again upped the ante on Thursday when he warned that his country's Chief of Army Staff (COAS) Gen Bajwa has assured him that the forces are ready to face India.
"Gen Bajwa has repeatedly assured me that Pakistan is ready," Khan was quoted as saying in a rally.
Khan was addressing a Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) rally in Pind Dadan Khan where he slammed Indian PM Narendra Modi for the new citizenship law passed by his government.
"I am telling you now, Modi will use this [protests in India] to do something in Azad Kashmir," said the prime minister. "I informed Gen Bajwa about this and he told me that Pakistan Army is ready for India."
"I want you to listen to my prediction. The people of India will stand up against Modi. Not only Muslims but Hindus, Sikhs and Christians," he said. "They know that what he is about to do in India is the same what Hitler did 60-70 years ago against the Jews."
The relationship between India and Pakistan has touched new lows this year ever since the Pulwama attack in Jammu and Kashmir in February which left 40 Indian paramilitary force personnel dead.
