“We will reach Kolkata!”: Khawaja Asif, Pakistan’s Defence Minister

Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif issues a warning to India

Sialkot (Pakistan) – Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has issued a warning to India, saying that if India attempts any so-called “false action,” then, “God willing, we will carry out operations up to Kolkata.”

He further stated, “Not just Kolkata, the next phase of conflict will be even more intense. We will enter their territory and strike them inside their own homes.”

While speaking to journalists, Asif also accused India of planning a “false flag operation.” He claimed that there are indications that India might use its own citizens or detained Pakistani nationals, place bodies at certain locations, and then blame terrorists for the incident.

Editorial Perspective

Despite losing all previous wars with India and even losing a part of its own territory, Pakistan’s hostility towards India has not diminished. Even Pakistan’s citizens now understand the true “capability” of their military, and therefore they are unlikely to believe such statements by Asif.
