Pakistan's Defence Minister Khwaja Asif has made a controversial statement suggesting the use of Madrasa students as a 'second line of defence'. This revelation comes amid ongoing tensions and raises concerns about the potential use of children in conflicts. The statement exposes Pakistan's approach to defence and the radicalisation of young minds in religious schools.

Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif raised eyebrows when, during a Parliament session, he declared that students would "100 per cent" be used as a "second line of defence" whenever the time comes.
