India Condemns Pakistan Army Chief's Nuclear Remarks Made in U.S.
India has strongly criticized comments allegedly made by Pakistan's Chief of Army Staff during his visit to the United States, labeling them as "nuclear sabre-rattling" and indicative of Islamabad's reckless behavior.
The statement from India highlights concerns about "well-held doubts regarding the integrity of nuclear command and control" in Pakistan, a country where the military reportedly maintains close ties with terrorist organizations. The Indian government expressed particular concern that these comments were made "from the soil of a friendly third country," which they believe exacerbates the diplomatic impropriety of the situation.
India reaffirmed its stance of not yielding to nuclear intimidation and emphasized its commitment to taking all necessary measures to ensure national security. This firm response comes amidst ongoing tensions between the two nuclear-armed neighbors, with New Delhi accusing Islamabad of habitually using nuclear threats while neglecting to address terrorism that allegedly originates from its territory.
