The chief minister later reacted strongly in a statement to Chaudhary's tweet aimed at inciting mutiny among Punjabis in the Indian Army. Singh asked Pakistan to mind "their own business" and stay out of India's internal matters, warning Islamabad against continued attempts to interfere on the Kashmir issue.
Kashmir is and will remain an integral part of India, he said. Chaudhary is Pakistan's federal minister for science and technology.
