F-16 Planes Seen Flying Over Pak, Says Geo News Journo Hamid Mir

Rising military activity in Pakistan could accelerate the already tensed relationships between India and Pakistan.

In the midst of reports of massive military exercises going on in Pakistan, Hamid Mir of Geo News on Thursday tweeted:

This development has certainly raised fears of military conflict between the two neighbouring nations.

Hamid Mir later tweeted about how war will not be a good idea for South Asia.

War is not good for the poor people of South Asia who are in majority let the majority unite and stop this war mongering
