Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif on Monday issued a strong warning to India, saying any renewed aggression would be met with a decisive response. He said Pakistan would change India’s “geography” if it was challenged again, in remarks that underline rising rhetoric between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
Speaking in a television interview with senior journalist Hamid Mir on Capital Talk, Asif responded to recent statements by the Indian army chief. He said India was still dealing with the consequences of earlier confrontations. His comments reflect continued tension in Pakistan-India relations amid periodic border and diplomatic disputes.
