“Pakistan is almost in a state of war mode. Railways is already following emergency situation laws,” he said.

He said that the next 72 hours are crucial.

“If war came it will be the biggest after the Second World War. It will be final war,” he told Dunya TV .

“Whether there will be war or peace, it will be decided in the next 72 hours,” he said.
