| Mukhtar rules out nuclear war with India |
| 2008-12-23 |
| Federal Defence Minister Ahmed Mukhtar has said that nuclear weapons will not be used in case of a war between India and Pakistan. Talking to reporters after a visit to ailing Pakistan People's Party leader Haji Azizur Rehman Chan who is admitted in a local hospital, Mukhtar said the armed forces of Pakistan had all the potential to defend the country if India tried to thrust war upon it. The defence minister said the Indians would never want a war with Pakistan because it might become nuclear, which would be detrimental to both sides. He said Sonia Gandhi's statement relating to war with Pakistan was nothing but an election stunt. Responding to a question, Mukhtar said there was no pressure on Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to resign, adding the premier would not be changed so long as the current government continued. |
