Pakistan’s Railway Minister Rashid Ahmed, who is known for his controversial speeches, has found himself in the news again. This time, for a rather ‘shocking’ video of him addressing the public in Islamabad on Friday, 30 August, during 'Kashmir Hour'.

While speaking against India’s PM Narendra Modi, he received an electric shock due to a malfunctioning microphone.

Pakistan on Friday observed 'Kashmir Hour' to express "solidarity" with the Kashmiri people after India revoked the special status of Jammu and Kashmir in its controversial move to effectively abrogate Article 370.

In the video, Rashid could be heard saying, "Hum tumhari Modi niyaton se waqif hain (We are aware of your intentions, Narendra Modi)".

The moment Rashid utters the sentence, he gets an electric shock in his hand, forcing him to discontinue his speech momentarily.

“Current lag gaya. Khair, koi baat nahi. Mera khayal hai, current aa gaya. Yeh Modi is jalse ko nakam nahi kr sakta (I think it was electric current. Never mind. Modi cannot ruin this rally),” he said while resuming his speech.

The video has since gone viral.

Rashid claimed on Thursday that US President Donald Trump was "deceiving" both India and Pakistan on the issue of Kashmir.

Talking to reporters in Rawalpindi, he said the Kashmir issue would be resolved during the tenures of Prime Minister Khan and Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa.

Rashid said both Samjhauta Express and Thar Express trains were shut down to express solidarity with the Kashmiri people.

Tensions between India and Pakistan have escalated after New Delhi on 5 August revoked Jammu and Kashmir's special status and bifurcated it into two union territories.

Reacting to India's move on Kashmir, Pakistan downgraded its diplomatic ties with New Delhi and expelled the Indian High Commissioner.

India has categorically told the international community that the scrapping of Article 370 was an internal matter and also advised Pakistan to accept this reality.
