New Delhi: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that tensions between India and Pakistan would be continued till the general elections in India are over and expressed apprehension of “another misadventure” from the Indian side in the run up to the polls.

Khan said shadows of war were still hovering over Pakistan and India as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's administration could go for "another misadventure" before the general elections.

"The danger is not over. The situation will remain tense till forthcoming general elections in India. We are already prepared to avert any aggression from India," Dawn quoted Khan as saying.

In an interview to Financial Times, Khan also admitted that his country can no longer allow terror groups to organise with impunity on its soil.

Khan said that Pakistan cannot take the stance any more “where you have these armed groups in our country”.

He said the country can’t afford being blamed for any terrorist activity, “like Pulwama, like what happened”.

He maintained that there was no place for terrorists in his new Pakistan. He made tall claims that his administration was carrying out a sever crackdown on terrorist groups in the country- “most serious one in the country’s history.”

“We’re already cracking down on them, we’re dismantling the whole set-up. What is happening right now has never happened before in Pakistan,” he told the daily.

Tensions between India and Pakistan escalated after the February 14 attack by Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed in Pulwama.

Amid mounting outrage, the Indian Air Force carried out a counter-terror operation, hitting what it said was a JeM training camp in Balakot, deep inside Pakistan on February 26. The next day, Pakistan Air Force retaliated and downed a MiG-21 in an aerial combat and captured an Indian pilot, who was handed over to India later.
