"We have atom bomb": Pakistan leader Shazia Marri threatens India with "nuclear war"

Islamabad, Dec 19: After Pakistan was roasted continuously by India for raising Kashmir matter and passing objectionable comments against PM Narendra Modi at UNSC, now Pakistan Peoples Party leader Shazia Marri threatened New Delhi with nuclear war.

 

 

 

In a news conference with Bol News, she said, "India should not forget that Pakistan has an atom bomb. Our nuclear status is not meant to remain silent. We will not back down if the need arises." She was holding a press conference in support of Bilawal Bhutto and spewed venom against India.

 

Shazia threatened India and said that if the Modi government will fight, then he will get the answer. She said, "if you will keep making allegations against Pakistan again and again, Pakistan cannot keep listening silently, this will not happen."

 

Shazia's statement comes at a time when Pakistan's Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto is being slammed in India for unleashing a personal attack on PM Modi. In response to media queries on Bilawal's 'uncivilized' remarks, the official spokesperson for the Ministry of External Affairs, Arindam Bagchi, said, "These comments are a new low, even for Pakistan. Pakistan's foreign minister's frustration would be better directed towards the masterminds of terrorist enterprises in his own country, who have made terrorism a part of their state policy. Pakistan needs to change its own mindset or remain a pariah."

 

Earlier, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Thursday ripped into Pakistan over its role in sponsoring and spreading terrorism and advised Islamabad to clean up its act and try to be a good neighbour.

 

In reply to a question from a Pakistani journalist, who accused India of spreading terror, Jaishankar replied," You are asking the wrong minister when you say how long will we do this. It is the ministers of Pakistan who will tell how long Pakistan intends to practice terrorism."

 

A flurry of other politicians, too, objected to Bilawal's uncivilized bursts on PM Modi. "As far as the leadership of PM Modi is concerned, the world has recognized that leadership," said Minister of State for External Affairs Meenakashi Lekhi.

 

Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Saturday launched nationwide protests against Bilawal Bhutto for his remark on PM Modi and burnt his effigies across India.
