NEW DELHI - India has stuck to its commitment of ‘no first use’ of nuclear weapons but future policy will depend on the situation, the defense minister said on Friday, which analysts said introduced a level of ambiguity in a core national security doctrine.
India's Defence Minister Rajnath Singh leaves after a meeting at the house of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's house in New Delhi, India, August 5, 2019. REUTERS/Adnan Abidi India declared itself a nuclear weapons power after conducting underground tests in 1998 and long-time rival Pakistan responded with its own tests shortly afterwards. Since then, nuclear experts say the rivals have been developing nuclear weapons and the missiles to deliver them.
In a visit to Pokhran in western India, the site of the nuclear tests, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh paid tribute to late former prime minister and revered leader of the ruling Hindu nationalists, Atal Behari Vajpayee, for making India into a nuclear power. “Pokhran is the area which witnessed Atal Ji’s firm resolve to make India a nuclear power and yet remain firmly committed to the doctrine of ‘No First Use’.At the time of the tests, India said it needed a deterrent against nuclear-armed China but it has also long been concerned about Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities.
Miscalculation can destroy whole world Kashmir issue is more important then HK
India has nuclear weapons? Like proper real nuclear weapons? Or is it just biological weapons like bovine feces?
“For now “ 🌚👀🌚
Look for India's military to cross the LOC and seize all of Kashmir. Pakistan won't be able to defend its part of Kashmir, but hit and run tactics will bog down India's military for years.
Hahaha fuck we’re all gonna die
*for now*
Lanti
For now.
Fake news they said will use depends on circumstances
Not for nothing but the “for now” component of that pledge undermines the point declaring a no first use doctrine.
They are scared 😟
'For now'!!!?🤔 What about next?!!!🤔
There is a vast difference between commitment and convenience, India
The times it looks like the entire globe has crazy people running selected countries
Why not create an effective sewer system?
Where is the question of using it?
