PAKISTAN STILL THREATENS INDIA WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS
A highly visible member of the National Assembly of Pakistan made national headlines for threatening India with a nuclear war. Pakistani minister Sheikh Rashid told a national broadcaster in an interview that his country's nuclear arsenal will "save Muslim lives" if India conducts acts of aggression.
“ If Pakistan is attacked by India, there is no room for the war of conventions. This will be a bloody and nuclear war. It will definitely be a nuclear war, ” Rashid told Samaa TV . He also claimed that only Muslims would survive such a nuclear confrontation.
The problem is that Pakistan was expecting strong international support when India abolished Article 370 of the constitution by abolishing the special status of Jimmu Kashmir, the Muslim-majority area, disputed with Pakistan and China, but which was the basis. of very strong military conflicts over the last 40 years, with also very violent episodes of war. in 2019 there were air fights with the shooting down of an Indian and a Pakistani aircraft, as well as shelling between the two sides.
The problem that the Pakistani Prime Minister Khan has also highlighted in the past is that India has a prevalence in conventional armament that can crush Pakistan in a short time, so all that remains is the escalation towards nuclear power with regional tactical weapons.
This happens at a time of ongoing high-level military talks between India and China in which the two sides have said they have agreed to work for the "complete disengagement of troops" from the disputed Effective Line of Control in the disputed eastern border region. tensions for India are about to return once again to the western border and the most menacing Pakistani nuclear rival of New Delhi.
