The president of Azad Kashmir warned on that the tensions between India and Pakistan could escalate a into a full-scale war between the nuclear-armed neighbours.
"The danger is that if there is a limited war, it will not remain confined. It will certainly turn into a conventional war. After that there is grave danger that, if there is a threat to Pakistan's existence, or Azad Kashmir's existence, and we are fighting a defensive war, God knows what it will lead to," Sardar Masood Khan -- the president of Azad Kashmir -- said in a statement as speaking of the Kashmir dispute between Pakistan and India.
