JHELUM: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Thursday once again warned that the Modi-led Indian government can carry out false flag operation in Azad Kashmir to divert attention from the current protests against Citizen Amendment Act (CAA), ARY News reported.
“Narendra Modi is using Line of Control (LoC) and Azad Jammu Kashmir as a flashpoint to divert attention from current CAB protests,” said PM Imran while addressing the foundation stone laying ceremony of Jalalpur Canal at Pind Dadan Khan.
The prime minister said that he had informed Army Chief Gen Bajwa about possible Indian tactics across the border, adding that COAs Bajwa had assured him that Pak Army is fully prepared to thwart any Indian aggression.
