Pakistan will push nuke on these three conditions, says Shehbaz Sharif's aide

While questioning Pakistan's defence capabilities, senior journalist Najam Sethi pompously said his country would nuke India under three conditions. He was clear on his stand as he said that if anything threatens our existence, then we will act upon it.

Elaborating on the conditions, he said if…

• Indian Navy blocks Pakistan's naval movement and stops the influx and outflux of goods in Karachi
• Indian Army enters Karachi and Lahore. And if this move breaks the northern and southern parts of Pakistan.
• India blocks the water supply to Pakistan.
  

In an interview with news outlet Samaa TV, a close aide of PM Sharif stated that the nukes are not in place to celebrate Diwali. Talking about the three conditions, he said, “In this case, we will use tactical nuclear weapons on you on our soil to defend ourselves.”

The region known after the Indus Valley civilisation is based on a river. As Sethi mentioned about a hypothetical situation, what if India blocks water flowing towards Pakistan, he said, “Based on the Indus Valley Civilisation, we are reliant on water; if that is blocked, it is attacking our existence. And so, we will use nuclear weapons.”

Not too long ago, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif also raised similar concerns. He had also threatened to use nuclear power if their existence was in question. In an interview with the same news outlet, Asif said, “God forbid; if our existence is under threat, then nobody will exist. Pakistan will retaliate, and the generation will remember.”
