Defence Minister Rajnath Singh issued a stern warning to Pakistan in response to remarks made by Khawaja Asif, Pakistan's Defence Minister, who threatened to strike Kolkata if India engaged in what he termed a 'false flag operation.' Singh cautioned that such provocative statements could escalate tensions and recalled the historical division of Pakistan over fifty years ago as a consequence of past actions. He stated, 'If they try to cast an eye on Bengal, only God knows how many parts Pakistan will be divided into this time.' Asif's comments, made during a press briefing in Sialkot, suggested that Pakistan would respond decisively to any escalation involving India. He alleged potential false flag operations involving detained individuals in Pakistan, although he provided no evidence to support his claims. This exchange comes amid heightened tensions following the Pahalgam attack in April 2022, which led to a four-day conflict between the two nations.
