| Pakistan warns of nuclear ’lesson’ |
| 2003-01-08 |
| Pakistan has warned that it will teach India an ''unforgettable lesson'' if Delhi were to launch a nuclear attack. Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed was replying to remarks by Indian Defence Minister George Fernandes that Pakistan would be wiped out in a nuclear conflict. Mr Ahmed called Mr Fernandes' comments the "ravings of a crazy man'' and condemned the ''racialist and communal policies pursued by the ruling Hindu nationalist clique''.Mr Ahmed said: ''We do not want war but if war is imposed on Pakistan, we have the will to give a crushing reply.'' Mr Fernandes had told a conference in Hyderabad: ''The Pakistani leadership should not get into the idea of committing suicide because we can take a bomb or two more.'' They could loose a couple million people and hardly miss them, they think. Plus the Hindu religion says when you die, you get reborn. That makes death just another part of life and makes the threat of death less of a issue to the extremists. Mr Ahmed said: ''Pakistan is a reality and cannot be wiped out through nuclear weapons... Ah, yes you can We know how to defend ourselves and respond to the the designs of the enemy. ''Our response will be an historic lesson for them if they used the nuclear option.'' Strike first, strike hard and take out your nukes first Mr Ahmed said the Indian nuclear threat was ''nothing but a pipe dream and a manifestation of India's deep frustration in its design to establish hegemony in the region''. He added: ''Pakistan is a responsible state which has never flaunted its nuclear muscles as India has been doing all along''. Yah, right |
