Pakistan Minister Hanif Abbasi said 130 nuclear warheads have been kept aimed towards India, escalating tension between the two warring neighbours amid the recent attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Pahalgam.
He made the remark while reacting to India’s decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty as part of diplomatic strikes that New Delhi launched on Islamabad after the Pahalgam terror attack.
“If they stop the water supply to us, then they should be ready for a war. The military equipment we have, the missiles we have, they’re not for display. Nobody knows where we have placed our nuclear weapons across the country. I say it again, these ballistic missiles, all of them are targeted at you,” the Pakistani Minister was quoted as saying by India Today.
The video of the minister’s speech has now gone viral.
Bilwal Bhutto Zardari Warns India
Targeting Indian PM Narendra Modi over the decision to suspend the Indus Waters Treaty, Pakistani politician Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari
said the Indus River will remain part of Pakistan.
“Either our water will flow through it or their blood,” he said.
“Wherever Modi goes, he claims India is the heir of 1000-year-old Indus Valley Civilisation which lies in Pakistan’s Larkana and Mohenjo Daro is the proof. We are the true heirs of it and we will defend it,” he added.
Pahalgam Terror Attack
Twenty-six tourists, mostly Hindus, died after terrorists identified them as non-Muslims and gunned them down in Baisaran meadows, a popular destination in Pahalgam.
World leaders, including US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, condemned the attack.
The terrorists asked the victims to chant Islamic verse, pull down their pants to check circumcision in a bid to confirm their Hindu identities before gunning them down.
