 "'130 nukes kept for you': Pakistani minister threatens India amid diplomatic row over Pahalgam attack")
Amid the ongoing diplomatic row between India and Pakistan following the Pahalgam attack, Pakistani Minister Hanif Abbasi made an explosive remark threatening New Delhi with nuclear retaliation. Abbasi on Saturday said that if India halts its water supply to Pakistan, the country won’t shy from using Ghori, Shaheen, and Ghaznavi missiles along with 130 nuclear warheads, which he claimed at kept “only for India”.
The remarks from the Pakistani minister came days after India put the Indus Water Treaty in abeyance and introduced other security measures following the terror attack that led to the death of 26 tourists in Kashmir.
While speaking to the reporters on the matter, Abbasi said that Pakistan is ready for a “full-scale war” and that its nuclear weapons are not for display; they are ready to strike if provoked.

“If they stop the water supply to us, then they should be ready for a war. The military equipment we have, the missiles we have, they’re not for display. Nobody knows where we have placed our nuclear weapons across the country. I say it again, these ballistic missiles, all of them are targeted at you,” he told local reporters on Sunday.
Abbasi claims airlines in India would go bankrupt
In a “tit-for-tat” move, Pakistan decided to close its airspace for Indian airlines and announced that all the bilateral treaties with New Delhi are put on hold. While commenting on Islamabad’s decision, Abbasi claimed that India is already facing the brunt of Pakistan’s decision.
“If things were to continue like this for another 10 days, the airlines in India would go bankrupt," Abbasi said, mocking India for its decision to suspend the Treaty and blaming Pakistan for the attack.
Pakistani minister also claimed that the country was already prepared to counter any economic actions taken against it. Interestingly, the PML-N leader who boasted about Pakistan might have a controversial past.
Back in 2018, Pakistan’s Control of Narcotics Substances (CNS) court handed him life imprisonment after he was found guilty of selling 500kg of ephedrine illegally to narcotics smugglers. He also was handed a PKR 1 million fine for the crime at that time, Dawn reported. However, the problematic politician was soon released following the change in the political landscape of the country.
