We don't foresee any war with Pak, says Javadekar

Chandigarh: Union Minister Prakash Javadekar here on Wednesday said they do not foresee any war between India and Pakistan, amid heightened tensions between the two nations after the abrogation of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir.

"We do not foresee any war (with Pakistan)," Javadekar said when asked that a Pakistan minister has expressed apprehensions about it.

"The issue is that Pakistan is nervous. There is no need to react to what Pakistan people say. In the whole world, they are being ridiculed," said Javadekar. Commenting on the revocation of the special status for Jammu and Kashmir under Article 370 of the Constitution, Javadekar said there had been no untoward incident in the Valley since last month.

"This is the proof that people have welcomed the decision," said the minister, who met legendary athlete Milkha Singh, former Army chief V P Malik and industrialist R K Sabu as part of the BJP's 'Mahasampark Abhiyan' in the city on Wednesday.
