The Ministry of External Affairs on Monday (August 11, 2025) responded sharply to Pakistan Army chief Field Marshal Asim Munir’s reported remarks on nuclear weapons and said that it will not give in to nuclear threats.
“Our attention has been drawn to remarks reportedly made by the Pakistani Chief of Army Staff while on a visit to the United States. Nuclear sabre-rattling is Pakistan’s stock-in-trade,” Randhir Jaiswal, the Ministry’s official spokesperson, said in a statement. The remarks by Field Marshal Munir were reportedly made during his address to the Pakistani community in the U.S., where he is on an official visit.
