TIL Desk/World/Washington/ India is planning to attack Pakistan after staging a “mishap” in Jammu and Kashmir and this could happen between April 16 and 20, Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said on Sunday.

He urged the international community to reprimand India for what he said was its “irresponsible conduct”. Qureshi told the media in Multan that Islamabad had “reliable intelligence that India is devising a new plan” to attack Pakistan.

“I am speaking responsibly, I hold a position of responsibility, and I know the words I utter will be picked up by the international media,” he said. “Preparations are being made (by India), and there are chances of another attack against Pakistan. According to our information, the action could be taken between April 16-20.
