India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) condemned Pakistan’s nuclear threats made by General Munir, characterizing them as irresponsible and part of Pakistan’s pattern of nuclear blackmail. Munir’s remarks about retaliating with nuclear force and targeting Indian infrastructure over water security escalated tensions following India’s suspension of parts of the Indus Waters Treaty. India underscored the risks of Pakistan’s military control over nuclear command and the potential for non-state actors accessing such weapons. Pakistan defended its nuclear posture as disciplined, accusing India of provoking regional tensions. This rhetoric highlights the deteriorating India-Pakistan relations and emphasizes India’s commitment to national security and strategic vigilance in the face of nuclear intimidation.
