Pakistan Parliament resounded with anger and war threats, the reason – Kashmir.
“Is the world prepared for the worst?” asked Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.
The Indian government, on Monday, 5 August, effectively revoked Article 370 of the Constitution, which gave a special status to Jammu and Kashmir, and further bifurcated the state into two Union Territories: Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh.
Pakistan has, however, condemned and rejected the Indian government's decision and vowed to exercise "all possible options" to counter India's "illegal" and "unilateral" step.
On Tuesday, Pakistan's prime minister asked the world to take notice of the Indian move to change the status of disputed Kashmir, saying Islamabad and New Delhi can go to war if India repeats a military strike in his country.
Imran Khan said he feared that Kashmiri people, angered by India's decision to strip the region of its special status, could launch an attack on Indian security forces and that New Delhi could blame Pakistan for it.
Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan convened a second meeting of the National Security Committee (NSC) on Wednesday to discuss the current situation in Kashmir, officials said.
The NSC is the highest forum of civil and military top leadership to come together and discuss important matters of national security.
With the new order in, is India ready to say ‘come what may’?
