Last Updated: Amid escalating tensions between the two neighbours over the Pahalgam attack, Pakistani politician Sher Afzal Khan Marwat said he would go to England if war breaks out. India has been tightening the screws on Pakistan after the barbaric terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on April 22, where 26 tourists were killed, with a second set of punitive measures that includes stopping all Pakistani imports and banning docking of Pakistan-owned ships. As speculation grows over a possible Indian retaliation over the Pahalgam attack and the possibility of a war between the two neighbouring countries, Pakistani politician Sher Afzal Khan Marwat was asked what he would do in this case. Marwat, a member of Pakistan's National Assembly, was asked by a reporter about whether he would fight if a war broke out between India and Pakistan, to which he simply said, 'If the war escalates, I will go to England." This reply quickly went viral on social media, with users saying even Pakistani politicians did not trust the Army.
