The Ministry of External Affairs (Mea) on Monday issued a strong statement in response to the comments made by the Pakistani Chief of Army Staff during a visit to the United States on Monday.
The official spokesperson of the MEA said, “On a trip to the United States, our attention has been attracted to the commentary made by the Pakistani Chief of Army Staff. The nuclear subrew-rattling is Pakistan’s stock-in-trade.”
The spokesperson said, “The international community can draw their own conclusions over the irresponsibility inherent in such comments, which also strengthens the doubt organized about the integrity of the nuclear command and the integrity of control in a state, where the army is hand -handed over with terrorist groups.”
Mea spokesperson further regretted that the comment was made from the soil of a friendly third country. The official said, “It is also regrettable that these comments should have been made from the soil of a friendly third country,” the officer said.
“India has already made it clear that it will not give nuclear blackmail and will continue to take all the necessary steps to protect its national security, confirmed by the Mea spokesperson.” Mea statement further said.
Despite this firm Rukh, Pakistan’s Army chief Asim Munir has once again threatened India, warning that Islamabad will sink the region in a nuclear war and take down the “about half of the world” when facing the threat of existence in the future struggle with New Delhi. During his ongoing visit to the United States, General Munir also said that if India proceeds with the construction of the dam on the Indus River, Islamabad will “defend” its water rights “at all costs”.
Munir also reiterated his anti-India rhetoric by describing Kashmir as a “jugular vein” of Pakistan, saying that it is not an internal matter of India, but an unresolved international issue, Pakistan-based media outlet Arya News said on Monday. According to a report published by Munir today, “We will wait for India and when they do so, and when they do so, we will destroy it.”
At a black-tie dinner in Washington, DC, hosted by Adnan Asad, Pakistan’s honorary counsel in Tampa, Munir said that the Indus River “does not have a family property of Indians,” saying that Islamabad has no shortage of resources to prevent Indian designs to prevent the river “.
Arya News condemned Munir for “Indian aggression under Operation Sindoor”, saying it was a serious violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty. He also said, “A bilateral conflict will be a huge defect due to any mistake by India.” Munir credited Pakistan’s response with successfully stopping the broad struggle and thanked US President Donald Trump for his role in reducing tension between the two countries.
Next to the Pahalgam attack, India described Pakistan’s chief general Munir’s commentary as the “jugular vein” of Kashmir, baseless and claimed that Pakistan’s only relationship with Kashmir is to vacate the region that is to illegally occupy.
