Arya News - Pakistan is not considering using its nuclear arsenal at the moment, Defense Minister Khawaja Asif said on Saturday against the background of escalating tensions with India.
The option involving use of nuclear weapons is "not on the cards right now," however, if the situation were to emerge, the "watchers" would also suffer, Asif was cited by the Dawn newspaper as saying. Asif also refuted reports that a National Command Authority meeting, which is in charge of making operational decisions on Pakistan"s nuclear weapons, had been called.
