He claimed that India could increase border tensions with Pakistan amid such situation, however, our armed forces are completely ready to deal with any misadventure and the nation should also be prepared. Indian forces have installed missiles alongside Kashmir border, he said.

“Millions of Muslims took to the streets around the world for getting freedom, whereas, these people [Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leadership] are heading to hold a public gathering here in Rawalpindi.”
