Dubai: Pakistan on Friday yet again resorted to its malicious ways and spewed venom against India in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), weeks after UAE banned Pakistani workers from entering its territory. Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, during his UAE visit, made a shocking remark on India.
Rattled by UAE preferring Indian workers and banning those from Pakistan, Qureshi made this remark. The Pakistan FM said that he has credible information that India was planning a surgical strike against Pakistan to divert attention from its internal affairs, as reported by Pakistani media Dawn.
Dawn quoted him as saying that the credible information was picked up by intelligence. An important development has cropped…I’ve learned through our intelligence forces…that India is planning a surgical strike against Pakistan, Dawn quoted him as saying.
