India on Monday condemned Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir’s threat of nuclear war. The Foreign Ministry said Nuclear sabre-rattling is Pakistan’s stock-in-trade, and reiterated that New Delhi will not give in to nuclear blackmail.
Addressing a gathering of people of Pakistani origin in Florida’s Tampa, Munir reportedly made a nuclear threat in case his country faced an existential threat in a future war with India.
The Ministry said it was regrettable that Munir made remarks from the soil of a friendly third country, and stressed that India will continue to take all steps to safeguard its national security.
