Aleema Khan has said the conflict with India was also discussed during her meeting with her jailed brother and ex-premier Imran Khan.

“He told us that instant response was necessary on such occasions and at the time of war. He also suggested that the nation should remain alert as [Indian Prime Minister] Modi will definitely take revenge,” Aleema said.

PTI Central Infor­mation Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram, in a statement, said PTI Imran had stated that Pakistan’s armed forces’ befitting response not only boosted the morale of the nation but also uplifted the spirits of those behind bars.

However, Akram emphasised that the ex-premier had warned Pakistan to remain prepared for recurring episodes of aggression and potential conflict with India due to Modi’s deceitful and untrustworthy nature.
