Escalation could lead to unimaginable fallout: Imran Khan

Islamabad: Prime Minister Imran Khan says further escalation between nuclear-armed rivals India and Pakistan may lead to unimaginable fallout and world must intervene to help avoiding that.

In an interview with Russia Today, he said explosive situation in Kashmir could escalate way beyond the Indian subcontinent.

Imran Khan urged the world community to help preventing the conflict from spiraling into a nuclear hotspot with unimaginable consequences.

He reminded that it would be the first time when two nuclear-armed countries come face to face after the Cuban crisis of 1962.

It may be recalled that the Pakistan-India standoff took a turn for the worse after New Delhi revoked the decades old autonomy of the part of disputed Kashmir it controls.
