Pakistan Minister threatens India with nuclear war, says Assam within range

Guwahati: In his trademark braggart style, Pakistan Federal Minister Sheikh Rashid has threatened India with nuclear war once again and stated the target range includes Assam.

He said the weapons will be such that they will save the Muslims during the attack.

The minister noted that Assam, which is one of the targeted regions, comes within the range of the weapons.

Raking up the prospect of a war against India, Rashid warned that Pakistan will have no option in a conventional war and "if something will happen, it will be the end."

In a recent interview, Rashid stated "If Pakistan gets attacked by India, there is no scope for conventional war. This will be a bloody and nuclear war. It will be a nuclear war for sure. We have very calculated weapons which are small and perfect. Our weapons will save Muslim lives and will only target certain regions. Pakistan's range now even includes Assam. Pakistan has no option in conventional war; therefore India knows if something happens, it will be the end."

It needs mention here that this is not the first time that Pakistan has threatened India with nuclear war.

In 2019, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on several occasions threatened to launch a nuclear war with India.

In the aftermath of India revoking Article 370 from Jammu and Kashmir, Khan assumed an aggressive tone and even mentioned nuclear weapons Pakistan has. 

In the same year, Rashid asserted that Pakistan possessed "125-250 gm atom bombs" which may hit a targeted area in India.
