Amid tensions at the Line of Actual Control between India and China, a senior official of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has claimed that PM Narendra Modi has set a date for war with Pakistan and China.

Speaking at an event at the home of BJP MLA Sanjay Yadav, BJP’s Uttar Pradesh chief Swatantra Dev Singh said that like the decisions on Ram Mandir and Article 370, Modi has decided when there would be war with Pakistan and China.

The BJP leader has linked his claim to the beginning of construction of a Ram temple in Ayodhya following a Supreme Court judgment and the abrogation of special status to occupied-Kashmir under Article 370 of the constitution.

As per news agency PTI, Singh said 'Sambandhit tithi tai hai', saying that this refers to India's foreign policy stance, India Today reported.

Responding to Singh's statement, party's local MP Ravindra Kushwaha said the BJP chief made the remarks to 'boost the morale of party workers'.
