‘War hysteria’ behind Indian defence budget spending: Asif

SIALKOT (92 News) – Federal Minister for Defence Khawaja Asif says Indian ‘war hysteria’ is prompting it to continuously raise its defence budget. Talking to media in Sialkot, the Defence Minister said New Delhi has not played any role for a sincere effort towards Pakistan for the last 6 months. He said the significant raise in Indian defence budget shows an aggressive mentality, adding that conflicts on the Working Boundary and Line of Control should be resolved for meaningful dialogue.
