India warns Pakistan of painful consequences after Asim Munir’s nuke threat

STC NEWS MONITORING DESK
NEW DELHI, AUGUST 14(STC): The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has today in a statement advised Pakistan to temper its frequent war-mongering and hateful comments against India, failing which the country can face ‘painful consequences’ as demonstrated recently in “Operation Sindoor”.
“We have seen several statements, reports regarding a continuing pattern of war-mongering and hateful comments against India. It is a well-known modus operandi of Pakistani leadership to whip up anti-India rhetoric to hide their own failure,” MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said during a routine press conference today.
The MEA reaction comes after Asim Munir, last week during his US visit, threatened to plunge the region into a nuclear war if Islamabad faced an existential threat.
Field Marshal Asim Munir was quoted by The Print saying, “We are a nuclear nation; if we think we are going down, we’ll take half the world down with us. ”
Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday claimed that any attempt to stop the flow of water into Pakistan is a violation of the Indus Waters Treaty and will be met with a “decisive response.”
The threat directed at India came a day after Pakistan’s former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari made similar comments, describing the suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty as an attack on the Indus Valley Civilisation.
In response, the MEA spokesperson said on Thursday that Pakistan would be well advised to temper its rhetoric, “as any misadventure will have painful consequences as demonstrated recently.”
