Marwat Says ‘Main England Chala Jaunga’ If War Breaks Out With India

In the wake of rising tensions between India and Pakistan, a provocative statement by a Pakistani legislator has gone viral on social media, inviting sharp responses. Sher Afzal Khan Marwat, a member of Pakistan’s National Assembly and former aide of jailed ex-Prime Minister Imran Khan, was questioned by a journalist if he would pick up arms and go to the border if a war breaks out against India. Marwat responded curtly, “I will go to England if war breaks out with India.”

When further questioned about whether he thought Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi would back down for the sake of de-escalation, Marwat had a sarcastic reply, “Is Modi my aunt’s son that he will step back just because I say so?”

The video of Marwat’s interview became widely circulated on social media, and it attracted criticism and ridicule.
