Today Pakistan’s new ambassador to the United Nations threatened to use nuclear weapons.
United Nations, May 30 (PTI) Pakistan has threatened to use nuclear weapons even if India stuck to conventional arms in any conflict, asserting that it has never subscribed to “no-first-use” of atomic weapons and that ruling out their use would give New Delhi a “license to kill.”
“India should not have the license to kill with conventional weapons while Pakistan’s hands are tied regarding other means to defend itself,” said its new ambassador to the United Nations Munir Akram.
The highly bellicose and provocative statements by Akram on the second day on the job yesterday surprised diplomats and officials at the United Nations who declined to make an immediate comment.
