Amid escalating tensions following the brutal April 22 terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam that left 26 tourists dead, India has taken another firm diplomatic step against Pakistan—this time by banning Pakistani imports, halting the docking of Pakistan-owned ships, and suspending incoming parcels and mail.
While speculation over potential military retaliation by India grows, a bizarre and controversial comment by a Pakistani politician has sparked online outrage and mockery. When asked what he would do if war broke out between India and Pakistan, Sher Afzal Khan Marwat, a member of Pakistan’s National Assembly, nonchalantly replied, “If the war escalates, I will go to England.”
The video quickly went viral, with many social media users remarking that even Pakistani politicians seemed to have no faith in their own army. In the same clip, Marwat was also asked if Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi should exercise restraint to ease tensions. He retorted sarcastically, “Modi mera khaala ka beta hai jo mere kehne se peeche jayega?” (Is Modi my aunt’s son that he’ll back off just because I say so?).

Sher Afzal Khan Marwat, once a close aide of jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan and a senior member of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has recently fallen out with the party leadership. His frequent criticism led Imran Khan to strip him of key positions.
Meanwhile, the situation at the Line of Control (LoC) continues to deteriorate. On Saturday night, the Pakistani Army opened small arms fire across several sectors—Kupwara, Baramulla, Poonch, Rajouri, Mendhar, Naushera, Sunderbani, and Akhnoor—marking the tenth consecutive night of ceasefire violations. The Indian Army responded immediately and strongly.
India’s latest moves—banning imports, halting ship docking, and suspending mail—reflect a broader diplomatic offensive to isolate Pakistan following the Pahalgam massacre, further hardening its stance on cross-border terror.
