Islamabad:Pakistan Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid, known for making controversial statements, has said that Indian politicians have been wishing for his death.
“Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi made a big mistake by revoking the autonomy of Indian-held Kashmir,” he said while addressing a press conference in Lahore on Saturday. “Modi’s main agenda is to destroy Pakistan,” he said, and claimed that Muslims are treated as second-class citizens in India, Pakistani media reported.
He warned Indian soldiers that if they move towards Lahore or Azad Kashmir, they should know that Pakistan’s “smart bombs will welcome them”. “Our army is ready,” said the minister.
However, he said it would be better for both nations to resolve the issue through dialogue.
