HIGHLIGHTS

• Pakistan minister Rashid Ahmad says they gouge the eyes of those who look at Pakistan with evil eyes
• Rashid said, Na phir chidiya chechaayengi, na mandiro mein ghantiya bajegi
• This comes after Imran Khan's warning that if attacked, Pakistan will retaliate

After Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, now another Pakistani minister tried to threaten India with dire consequences and said that if anyone tries to look at the Islamic nation with evil eyes, their eyes will be gouged out.

In a video address, Pakistan Rail Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad said, "Imran Khan has sent out a clear message. If anyone tries to look at Pakistan with evil in their minds, their eyes will be gouged out. Na phir chidiya chehkayengi, na mandiro mein ghantiya bajegi (Neither will birds chirp, nor will bells ring at the temples after that)."

Ahmad was clearly taking a jibe at India by identifying it with temples.

Earlier in the day, Imran Khan issued a warning to India and said that Pakistan is open to investigation in the Pulwama terror attack, but if attacked by the Indian forces, it will retaliate.

Imran Khan on Tuesday said that India would act against the perpetrators of the Pulwama terror attack if New Delhi shares "actionable intelligence", but warned against any "revenge" retaliatory action.

In a video message to the nation, Khan hit back saying India is accusing Pakistan without any evidence of its involvement in the terror attack that left 40 CRPF personnel dead in Pulwama on February 14.

The suicide attack by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) terror group left 40 CRPF personnel dead.

Pakistan wants "stability in the region", Khan said.

Imran Khan also said that Delhi holds Pakistan responsible each time an incident happens in Kashmir and makes Pakistan its "whipping boy" again and again.

"If you have any actionable intelligence that a Pakistani is involved. Give it to us. I guarantee you we will take action - not because we are under pressure, but because they are acting as enemies of Pakistan," he said.

"I have been hearing and seeing on the Indian media that politicians there are calling for revenge from Pakistan. If India thinks it will attack Pakistan, then we will not just think but retaliate."

"Starting a war is in our hands, it is easy. But ending a war, that is not in our hands and no one knows what will happen. Khan said.

"Its not in our interests that somebody from here goes out to do terrorism, nor that somebody comes here and does terrorism," he added.
