At the time when the ties between Islamabad and New Delhi have weakened because of the abrogation of Article 370, the statement by Gandapur has given rise to another controversy. In the video, the Minister is threatening India and other countries that are in support of India over the Kashmir issue with missile attacks.
In the caption, Pakistan journalist who uploaded the video writes ‘I hope Trump received this message.’ This could be read as a direct threat to Russia, France, and the US as they backed India on the Article 370 move.
A few weeks ago, the ANI, an Indian news agency, had reported that Russia supported India on the abrogation of Article 370 as an “internal and domestic” issue.
