After the horrific terrorist attack in Kashmir last week, the situation has become so unstable that there has been an exchange of fire between Indian and Pakistani security forces on the border. This incident has increased the risk of a major conflict between the two nuclear-powered neighbors.
Amidst extreme tension, Pakistan’s Railway Minister Mohammad Hanif Abbasi has warned that Pakistan’s more than 130 nuclear missiles are not ‘just arranged’. They are ‘only for India’.
The influential British daily The Guardian reported this news citing Indian media. Indian media The Hindu, First Post, Indian Express also reported the same information.
Hanif Abbasi also said on Saturday that these ballistic missiles are aimed at you (India).
The comments by Pakistan’s railway minister have raised fears of a major conflict between the two nuclear-armed neighbours.
New Delhi has alleged that Islamabad is linked to the recent attack in Kashmir’s Pulgam. However, India has not publicly presented any evidence in this regard.
India has suspended the Indus Waters Treaty with Pakistan after the horrific attack. India has also expelled Pakistani diplomats and cancelled visas of Pakistani citizens.
