His comments come amid heightened tensions following a terrorist attack in Jammu and Kashmir that killed 26 tourists, prompting India to ban Pakistani visas and suspend the Indus Waters Treaty. The BJP seized on Marwat's remarks to highlight a lack of confidence among Pakistani leaders and citizens in their military capabilities.
