Imran Khan’s Nuclear War Threat Is “Brinkmanship Not Statesmanship” : India
Mumbai: India on Friday strongly replied to Pak PM Khan’s nuclear war threat said it as “brinkmanship, not statesmanship
India’s right to reply comes after Khan in his maiden at the 74th UNGA session made an attempt to “sharpen differences and stir up hatred”.
Using India’s Right to reply power, First Secretary MEA Vidisha Maitra said that Pakistan’s “virulent reaction” over the abrogation of Article 370 depicts that “those who thrive on conflict never welcome the ray of peace”.
She said, “I take the floor to use India’s right to reply to the statement made by the Prime Minister of Pakistan. Every word spoken from the platform of the Assembly this August, it is believed, carries the weight of history.”

“Unfortunately, what we heard today from Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan was a callous portrayal of the world in binary terms. Ours vs theirs; Wealthy vs Poor; North vs South; Developed vs. Development; Muslims vs. Others. A script that Promotes partition in the United Nations. Attempts to intensify differences and spread hatred is simply called hate speeches.
She further went on saying that, “Prime Minister Khan’s threat of unleashing nuclear devastation qualifies as brinkmanship, not statesmanship,” Maitra said.
She said, “Pakistan’s response to the removal of an old and temporary provision, which hindered the development and integration of the state of Jammu and Kashmir, stems from the fact that those who struggle never welcome the ray of peace.”
Earlier Pakistan PM Imran Khan had warned of dire “consequences” in the event of a nuclear war with India over the Kashmir issue.
“If a conventional war starts between the two countries, anything could happen. A country seven times smaller than its neighbor what will it do — either surrender or fight for its freedom,” he had said in his maiden address to the UN General Assembly here that exceeded beyond the allotted time limit of between 15 to 20 minutes.
