Pakistan Minister threatens India with nuclear retaliation over suspension of Indus Waters Treaty
New Delhi: Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan’s Minister Hanif Abbasi issued a provocative threat of nuclear retaliation, warning that the country’s nuclear arsenal is aimed directly at India. Abbasi’s remarks came after India’s suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty, a decades-old water-sharing agreement, in response to the terror attack that claimed 26 lives.
Abbasi claimed that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, which includes Ghori, Shaheen, and Ghaznavi missiles, is aimed at India, and emphasized that the country's 130 nuclear warheads are "not for show." He warned that India should be prepared for a "full-scale war" if it attempts to block water supplies from the Indus River. "Nobody knows where we have placed our nuclear weapons across the country," Abbasi stated. "All of them are targeted at you."
The controversial comments were made in the wake of India's decision to revoke Pakistani visas and suspend the Indus Waters Treaty as part of its response to the attack in Pahalgam. This move by India has drawn strong reactions from Pakistan, with Abbasi mocking India’s trade and water suspension policies, comparing them to Pakistan’s closure of airspace to Indian flights in the past, which caused significant disruption to Indian airlines.
In a related development, Pakistan's Defence Minister Khawaja Asif fueled further controversy with comments about Pakistan's historical support for militant groups. In a recent interview, Asif acknowledged that Pakistan had, for decades, supported militant organizations at the behest of Western powers. However, he denied current involvement with groups like Lashkar-e-Taiba or The Resistance Front, the group blamed for the Pahalgam attack, accusing India of "staging" the incident to stir regional tensions.
