'We will not bow down to such threats', MEA's blunt reply on Asim Munir's threat of nuclear attack

National News: Pakistan, which has been defeated by India in every war, never gives up its habits. Once again Pakistan has threatened a nuclear attack. However, India has categorically said that we are not going to be afraid of any such threats. In fact, Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir has given an open nuclear threat to America. During a program, he said that if Pakistan's existence is threatened in a war with India, then we will sink half the world with us.

MEA's blunt reply to Munir's statement

The Indian Foreign Ministry gave a blunt response to this comment of Pakistan Army Chief General Asim Munir. The official statement issued on Monday said that our attention has been drawn to the comments allegedly made by the Pakistani Army Chief during his visit to the United States. Waving nuclear weapons is Pakistan's traditional work. Officials added that such rhetoric reflects a dangerous mindset that undermines regional stability. They stressed that India has consistently advocated for peace and dialogue but will not tolerate provocative threats.

Pattern of Persistent Nuclear Rhetoric

Analysts point out that this pattern of using nuclear threats for political signaling has been observed in Pakistan’s military leadership for years. The ministry also reminded the global community of Pakistan’s past record of irresponsible statements and actions. New Delhi reiterated that it will respond firmly to any attempt to destabilize the security environment.

This is an irresponsible statement

The statement further said that the international community can draw its own conclusions about the irresponsibility inherent in such comments, which also reinforce well-founded doubts about the integrity of nuclear command and control in a state where the military is colluding with terrorist groups. Officials warned that mixing nuclear posturing with state-sponsored militancy is a recipe for global insecurity. They urged countries to take note of the danger posed by such reckless narratives.

Pakistan’s Diversionary Nuclear Tactics

Experts believe that this is yet another attempt by Pakistan’s army to divert attention from its domestic crises by creating an external confrontation. The Indian side emphasized that no responsible nuclear state engages in such casual threats. Strategic experts also highlighted that India maintains a credible minimum deterrent and robust safeguards against escalation. The statement concluded that this behavior should concern not only India but the entire international community.

Remark Made from Friendly Soil

The Foreign Ministry statement said that it is also regrettable that these comments were made from the soil of a friendly third country. India has already made it clear that it will not succumb to nuclear blackmail. We will continue to take all necessary steps to protect our national security. Diplomats expressed disappointment that such divisive remarks were voiced on the platform of a nation considered a friend to both sides.

Rejecting Hostile Nuclear Diplomacy

They stressed that this could set an unhealthy precedent for bilateral and multilateral relations. India reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining strong ties with the host country while clearly rejecting the hostile message delivered there. Officials also pointed out that nuclear intimidation has no place in modern diplomacy. Security experts in India underlined that preparedness measures, including strategic deterrence and defense upgrades, are constantly reviewed to ensure national safety.
