Islamabad/Jan,14: Pakistan on Saturday challenged India to “test our resolve” over a nuclear war, in response to Army chief General Bipin Rawat’s remarks from Friday.
“Very irresponsible statement by Indian Army Chief,not befitting his office. Amounts to invitation for nuclear encounter.If that is what they desire,they are welcome to test our resolve.The general’s doubt would swiftly be removed, inshallah,” tweeted Pakistan’s foreign minister Khawaja Asif.
The neighbouring country’s foreign office, too, was at pains to clarify that “Pakistan is fully capable of defending itself,” in a series of tweets from its spokesperson.
