In another show of Nuclear prowess this time the Pakistan Foreign Minister, Khawaja Muhammad Asif has issued a N threat to India using Twitter.
The Pakistan Foreign Minister issued a nuclear threat to India while responding to a statement by the Inidan Army chief, General Bipin Rawat on Pakistan’s “Nuclear bluff”.
Totally inline with the US-N Korea nuclear button back and forth, the political leader of the nation that has been declared a rogue nation for harboring terrorists by the US recently, took to Twitter and declared that Pakistan was ready for some Nuclear action.
“Very irresponsible statement by Indian Army Chief, not befitting his office. Amounts to invitation for nuclear encounter. If that is what they (India) desire, they are welcome to test our resolve. The general’s doubt would swiftly be removed, inshallah,” Asif tweeted.

During a media briefing in Delhi last week, Rawat had said that the force was ready to call Pakistan’s “Nuclear bluff” and cross the border to carry out any operation “if asked by the government”.
He was responding to a hypothetical question on the possibility of Pakistan using its Nuclear weapons in case the situation along the border deteriorates.
Soon after his boss’s Tweet, the Pakistani Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ spokesperson, Dr Mohammad Faisal went on another Tweet attack.
“The threatening and irresponsible statement by the Indian Army Chief today is representative of a sinister mindset that has taken hold of India. Pakistan has demonstrated deterrence capability,” he tweeted from his personal handle.

“These are not issues to be taken lightly. There must not be any misadventure based on miscalculation. Pakistan is fully capable of defending itself,” he said in a second tweet.

This all comes after Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Major General Asif Ghafoor reacted to Gen Rawat’s statement and said such statements were unbecoming of a person of his stature.
“We believe COAS is a very responsible appointment and four-star is a rank with age-long experience and maturity,” he said on a televised statement.
Ghafoor further stated that Pakistan has a credible Nuclear capability, exclusively meant for the threat from the east. “But we believe it’s a weapon of deterrence, not a choice.”
