Pakistan on Saturday challenged India to “test our resolve” over a nuclear war, in response to Army chief General Bipin Rawat’s remarks from Friday. “Very irresponsible statement by Indian Army Chief,not befitting his office. Amounts to invitation for nuclear encounter.If that is what they desire,they are welcome to test our
resolve.The general’s doubt would swiftly be removed, inshallah,” tweeted Pakistan’s foreign minister Khawaja Asif. The neighbouring country’s foreign office, too, was at pains to clarify that “Pakistan is fully capable of defending itself,” in a series of tweets from its spokesperson. Maj Gen Asif Ghafoor, the official spokesperson for Pakistan’s armed forces, claimed that his country has “credible nuclear deterrence” against threats from India.
“Pakistan has credible nuclear deterrence against any threat from India. We are a professional army, responsible nuclear state and resilient nation and India must not remain in illusion,” he said.
