“Upgrade to nuclear level should not be considered”: Pakistan in Pahalgam's reaction fear, Pakistan | World News
United Nations: Although Kashmir is known as the “nuclear flash point”, Pakistan's permanent representative is the UN's permanent representative, and Asim Iftikhar Ahmad said, “We should not consider this situation” because both Pakistan and India are responsible for the country.
“Kashmir is often called 'nuclear flash point', but I believe Pakistan is a responsible nuclear weapon state. I think India has shown the same responsibility and we shouldn't consider it, you know, that situation will go in that direction.”
However, he did not deny that Pakistan did not agree to useless nuclear policy. Ahmad was asked about the nuclear factor of the confrontation between the two neighbors at his press conference.
He said: “Pakistan is a responsible member of the international community. He was asked again about the nuclear factor and said he “deliberately did not mention it” because both countries “expressed the same responsibility”.
He once again urged Islamabad to take a stance on the use of nuclear weapons and he escaped the direct answer. “I mean, this is the stated policy, I mean Pakistan's policy on nuclear disarmament, all related issues are in the public sphere. It's well known.”
His reluctance is because Pakistan has not adopted a policy of not adopting the first use of nuclear weapons (public stance), which makes it the option to use it first. On the other hand, India has announced a useless policy.
A reporter asked Ahmed about the situation in the West's conflict with Afghanistan and Bal Luchistan provinces and how they will affect the possible conflict with India. “I don't think it will affect our preparation and preparation to deal with everything in Kashmir's control,” he said. “The western border is completely under control.”
He added: “Some counter-terrorism and law enforcement operations are underway as well as law enforcement operations.” Pakistan and Afghan troops clashed repeatedly along their borders, with Islamabad accusing Kabul of possession of tehreek-i-taliban Pakistan (TTP), which carried out cross-border attacks. Furthermore, Pakistan is facing a rebellion in the Baroki seeking independence.
Ahmad denied “dog fight” – air combat – reporters claimed the fight had occurred. “There are some reports about some podcasts or drones, you know, shot down or something,” he said. But there is no air combat. He added: “If the situation worsens, some situations will perform some kind of 'move movement', then that's very likely.”
