Sher Afzal Khan Marwat, a member of the Pakistan National Assembly and an aide to former jail former Prime Minister Imran Khan, was asked by reporters whether he would seize the weapon if the war broke out against India. Marwat replied harshly: “If a war breaks out with India, I will go to Britain.”

The videos of Marwat's interviews have been widely circulated on social media, causing criticism and ridicule, and people claim that even Pakistani politicians don't believe in their armed forces very much.
Marwat, once a member of the Pakistani Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has been in quarantine for the past few months after consistently criticizing the party's leadership. The leader of PTI is Imran Khan, currently under political and legal siege in Pakistan.
Background: Pahalgam terrorist attack
On April 22, the terrorists targeted a group of tourists in the picturesque Baisaran Meadow in Jamu and Pahalgam in Kashmir, 26 of whom were killed, including two foreign tourists from the UAE and Nepal. The Resistance Front (TRF) suspected of being associated with Lashkar-e-Taiba is responsible for the attack.
Witnesses described the attackers coming out of the pine forest and opening fire at tourists, many of whom were riding horses or drinks. The attack was one of the worst attacks on Kashmir civilians in several years.
As a reaction, India has made important diplomatic and strategic moves, such as suspending the Indian Water Treaty, reducing diplomatic relations with Pakistan, closing important border crossings, and declaring the Pakistani military to be attached to Non Grata on the High Commission in New Delhi.
Diplomatic tensions between the two countries were high due to the attacks.
