Speaking to Republic TV's Shivani Gupta, Khali said, "There is no religion when it comes to Indian Army. Indian Army is there to help people only. There is nothing state-specific or religion-specific when it comes to Indian Army. Indian Army only helps people who are in need. Let us ignore Pakistan, like the world is ignoring them. He (Fawad Hussain) is a 'farzi' minister. It is good that the government abolished Article 370. The world is with us."
