Useless nuclear sabre-rattling

India's 'Operation Sindoor' in retaliation for the Pahalgam terror attack had tarnished Pakistan's image internationally. Various Indian delegations had gone directly to important countries of the world and had discussed the encounter in detail. This had eliminated Pakistan's opportunity to spread false campaigns in diplomatic forums. It was the Pakistani army itself that was providing all direct and indirect support to the terrorists. India explained this with pictures of the destroyed terrorist centres, air force bases and other evidence. The fact that India did not launch a missile attack on any populated area in Pakistan was also pointed out as evidence that India was not responding against the people there, but only against the terrorists and the military forces supporting them.

India called off the attack within four days on the direct request of Pakistani military commander, after the gate of the Pakistani nuclear facility was destroyed in a missile attack. Prime Minister Modi had later warned that 'Operation Sindoor' had only been suspended temporarily and that it had not ended. No world power had come to participate or intervene during the confrontation between India and Pakistan. When US President Trump claimed that it was he who had ended the war, India had vehemently rejected it. Pakistan's army chief Asim Munir has launched a 'war threat' to cover up the defeat and atrocities committed in the war.

Pakistan Army Chief Field Marshal Asim Munir has threatened to launch a missile attack on the dam on the Indus River if it is built and to use nuclear weapons if India threatens it again. The fact that he made this threat during his visit to the United States gives it a new dimension. Asim Munir was trying to convince the world that he has the support of the United States in all this. The United States and Israel had recently jointly attacked Iran on the accusation that it was building nuclear weapons. The Pakistani army chief has made a nuclear threat against India from the same American soil. This is enough to expose America's double standards on the nuclear issue.

Addressing the Pakistani diaspora in Tampa, Florida, the Pakistani army chief said that Kashmir is the jugular vein of Pakistan. Who does not understand that a defeated person makes heroic claims to cover up his embarrassment? Indian government sources responded that Asim Munir's threat from US soil has shown that Pakistan is an irresponsible state with nuclear weapons. Munir's statement is a clear demonstration that there is no democracy in Pakistan and that the country is controlled by the army. It is not wrong to assume that Munir, emboldened by his reception in the United States, is planning to quietly or openly overthrow the Pakistan government and become president, and that this threat is part of preparing the ground for that.
