Sethi, who is considered close to Nawaz Sharif, was talking regarding the suspension of the Indus Water Treaty, and said that stopping Pakistan’s water is also included in the crisis of existence. Notably, the remarks have come at a time when Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made clear the country’s stance that the neighbouring country will not be given water in the treaty. During a program on Sama TV, Sethi was asked whether Pakistan can use nuclear weapons in the conflict against India. On this, he stated that his country’s nuclear weapons are not made for celebrating Diwali, they will be used if needed. “If India stops our water by building a dam, then we will not fire one but ten missiles and destroy any dam,” he said.
Nuclear Weapons Will Be Used In Three Situations
Najam Sethi stated that he clarified during his interview with an Indian journalist the conditions under which Pak would use its nuclear weapons. He said his country will use nuclear weapons in three situations.
The First Situation
The first situation is when the Indian Navy attacks near Karachi and stops the movement of the Pakistani Navy, closing Karachi port.
The Second Situation
The second scenario of Pakistan using nuclear weapons would be when the Indian army enters Lahore and moves towards Islamabad. If this happens, Pakistan will have no choice but to use its nuclear missiles.
The Third Situation
The third situation would be when New Delhi attempts to halt Pakistan’s water supply. Sethi said that if India stops Pakistan’s water, the lives of people will be in danger. Then, the nuclear bomb may be used.
