Asif warns of another India misadventure

Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has warned of another possible Indian misadventure, saying Pakistan would respond forcefully if provoked.

Speaking with a private TV channel on Wednesday, Asif said Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was politically cornered and could take impulsive action due to mounting pressure and declining political capital.

"If Modi makes a reckless move out of desperation, Pakistan will respond decisively - and there will be global consequences," Asif said. The defence minister stated that in the event of further escalation, even India's allies may refrain from backing Modi's actions.
