Masood Khan says Indian blame game can be proved counte­rprodu­ctive and ‘reduce India to ashes’MUZAFFARABAD: Azad Jammu and Kashmir (AJK) President Sardar Masood Khan has said India was playing a dangerous game by stoking the fire of hatred and hurling war threats on Pakistan that can be proved counterproductive and “reduce India to ashes”. “It is easy to spread hatred, prejudices and religious animosity, but hard and painful to swallow its bitter fruits. The culture of extremism and warmongering can tear apart the fabric of Indian society and reduce India to ashes,” President Masood said while addressing a gathering of journalists and members of civil society after opening an office of a national daily newspaper here on Saturday. Describing Azad Jammu and Kashmir as a “habitat of warrior races”, where people are inborn soldiers, he said India will be taught a lesson if it dared to thrust aggression upon Pakistan or AJK. On Friday, the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) condemned the Pulwama attack but did not mention Pakistan despite India’s efforts to associate the neighbouring country with the incident without any evidence.
