Another Pulwama will happen, says Imran Khan after Modi govt's Article 370 J&K move

India Today  

Abrogation of Article 370 from Kashmir will result in another Pulwama, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan told a joint session of Pakistan Parliament on Tuesday. Claiming that Pakistan had nothing to do with Pulwama terror attack, Imran Khan said that the Modi government's decision will not be able to crush the people of Kashmir. Imran Khan claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party had acted upon 'racist' ideology of its founding fathers, who sought to designate Muslims as second class citizens, he said. Pakistan PM argued Modi government's move against Article 370 validated Mohammad Ali Jinnah's two-nation theory.
