British Author Condemns Pakistan's Nuclear Threats Against India

British Political Commentator Calls Pakistan Army Chief's Nuclear Rhetoric 'Scandalous'

Belfast, Ireland - British political commentator David Vance has strongly condemned recent nuclear threats made by Pakistan's Army Chief General Asim Munir, characterizing the statements as 'absolutely scandalous and disgraceful.' The criticism comes amid growing international concern over escalating tensions in South Asia, similar to recent diplomatic challenges faced in other global conflicts.

Reckless Rhetoric and International Response

Speaking to ANI, Vance emphasized the dangerous nature of Munir's comments, particularly those suggesting the possibility of nuclear warfare against India. The threats, made during Munir's visit to Florida, included claims that Pakistan could use nuclear weapons to target India and 'half the world' if faced with an existential threat.

India's Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) responded with measured diplomacy, reflecting a pattern of responsible governance in the face of international provocations.

Call for Diplomatic Action

Vance has urged stronger international response, particularly from the United States, stating, 'I would like to see the US break off diplomatic relations with Pakistan until it starts to behave like a civilised country.' His comments highlight growing concerns about accountability and enforcement in international relations.

'The fact that it was said on US soil seems to be a calculated insult by the Pakistani Army chief,' Vance noted, expressing frustration over Washington's relatively muted response.

India's Measured Response

The MEA's official response emphasized India's refusal to submit to nuclear blackmail while highlighting concerns about Pakistan's nuclear command and control integrity. The ministry particularly noted the problematic nature of such statements being made from a friendly third country's soil.
