Full-blown India-Pak war likely in October or November: Pakistan Minister
Islamabad, Aug 29 (IBNS): A Pakistan federal minister has predicted that a full-blown war between his country and India is likely to take place in the month of October or November, media reports said.
Pakistan Railway Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad made the comment.
Ahmad also reportedly said this war will be the last one between the two nations.
Also the minister slammed the Islamic nations for remaining mum on Kashmir and also claimed China's weight behind Pakistan.
The comment came to light at a time when India's intelligence inputs stated Pakistan-trained SSG commandos might enter Gulf of Kutch and Sir Creek area via seat route. Hence, all Gujarat ports have been kept on high alert.
The bilateral relationship between the two nations started deteriorating first this year after February 14 Pulwama terror attack which killed at least 40 Indian paramilitary personnel.
Following the attack, which was carried out by Pakistan-based militant organisation Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM), India responded with an airstrike in Balakote along the Line of Control (LoC).
After India scrapped Article 370 to withdraw Jammu and Kashmir's special status on August 5, Pakistan came out with a sharp criticism of New Delhi. However, the Narendra Modi maintained Kashmir is India's bilateral matter.
