Pakistan’s defense minister says that as time goes by, chances of conflict with India increase

Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said on Wednesday that despite efforts from different countries weakening tensions between the two neighbors, the chances of conflict with India are increasing over time. Asif spoke while talking to the media outside the parliament, where he was asked about the latest security situation. “The chances of[conflict]have increased over time; they have not decreased, although many countries have been working to avoid this.”
Asif also vowed to respond appropriately to India in the event of any attack on Pakistan, but refused to provide details of Pakistan’s response.
“If India violates it, we will respond and the nature of our response will be determined by the Indian action,” he said. “There is no doubt that our response.”

He expressed his willingness to “India will see sanity”, but added that there was no evidence because the escalation was not reduced.

In answering a question, he said that God may help avoid conflict situations. On another question, he said: “I don’t want to speculate on Pakistan’s response, but it will be more powerful than India’s action.”
