MEA’s Reaction On Munir’s Nuke Threat
The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) registered a strong reservation on Munir’s statement. The MEA posted a statement on X.
Highlights of the MEA’s Reaction
– Our attention has been drawn to remarks reportedly made by the Pakistani Chief of Army Staff while on a visit to the United States.
– Nuclear sabre-rattling is Pakistan’s stock-in-trade.
– The international community can draw its own conclusions on the irresponsibility inherent in such remarks, which also reinforce the well-held doubts about the integrity of nuclear command and control in a state where the military is hand-in-glove with terrorist groups.
– It is also regrettable that these remarks should have been made from the soil of a friendly third country.
– India has already made it clear that it will not give in to nuclear blackmail.
– We will continue to take all steps necessary to safeguard our national security.
