New Delhi: Painting an alarming picture, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan Sunday said the world should consider the “the safety and security of India’s nuclear arsenal” that has come under the control of a “fascist and Hindu supremacist Modi government”.

“The World must also seriously consider the safety & security of India’s nuclear arsenal in the control of the fascist, racist Hindu Supremacist Modi Govt. This is an issue that impacts not just the region but the world (sic),” Khan tweeted in a thread, two days after Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh hinted that the country might review its nuclear “no-first use” policy.

‘Threat to Kashmiris’

Khan also said the present Indian government poses a threat to nine million Kashmiris who are “under siege in IOK” — what Pakistanis call Indian-administered Kashmir.

Referring to the communications blackout in Kashmir, Khan said: “India has been captured, as Germany had been captured by Nazis, by a fascist, racist Hindu supremacist ideology and leadership. This threatens nine million Kashmiris under siege for over two weeks which should have sent alarm bells ringing across the world with UN observers being sent there.”

Khan’s statement comes after Pakistan’s demand that the issue be discussed formally at the high table of the UN got rejected at the UN Security Council Friday. At the behest of China, the UNSC informally discussed the scrapping of the special status of Jammu and Kashmir Friday.

Rajnath on talks

Meanwhile, Defence Minister Singh said Sunday that India is ready to hold talks with Pakistan, only if it puts an end to terror.

“Article 370 was abrogated in J&K for its development. Our neighbour is knocking the doors of the international community and saying India has made a mistake. Talks with Pakistan will be held only if it stops supporting terror. If talks are held with Pakistan, they will now be on PoK,” Singh said at a rally in Haryana.

“A few days ago, the prime minister of Pakistan said India is planning an action bigger than Balakot. This means the Pakistan PM acknowledges what India did in Balakot.”

  1. Pakistan is a failed state,Pakistanis are scarred about progress of Indian economy they cannot digest this as they are lagging behind and china does not want any challengers in Asia.Hence use paksitani as proxy to thwart Indias progress as chinese dream to replace US as Global Leader.So this threat to India will be there for long term.

  2. Look who’s talking.
    We don’t understand why India and Pakistan are continuing enmity while their diplomatic and economic relations are affected.
    And also, why we should reflect Trumpian view in our dealings. Apart from US Dollar, is there anything that we consider worthy?

  3. These guys esp imran has gone paranoid while Modi has returned home from a 3 day bhutan trip. Imrans’ paranoia cause is the white powder & kali daal. Whereas in India it is …. Job done, move on to the next. Uniform Civil Code & POK of course. Empty vessels like pakistanis make the maximum noise. That they were discussed in unsc is a big victory for them. This is their Aukaat. Bhooka – Nanga mulk hai … jiski neeyat saaf nahin, niti is terrorism & drugs and nyaya is mariam behind bars and nan Rs 24. Laughing Stock! India is 100% Alert.

  4. imraan four paisa , aapney gireybaen mein jhaank kuttey …tumarey nuclear hafiz kae haath mein haein ,tumare general irration fagist haein .World body should denuclearize your terror state

  5. An impressive analysis. Its interesting that while China can not hope to win any point against India by creating irritations for India on Kashmir, it has issued a license to INDIA to hit back at China. Beijing should now get ready for India to raise issues of Aksai Chin, Shaksgam, Tibet and East Turkistan (China’s so called ‘Xinjiang’). Moreover all this makes $40 bn CPEC a sitting duck. Just one strike on one bridge of the CPEC road in POK and China’s strategic virginity is lost for ever.

  6. We should be worried only when Pakistani establishment is not talking against India. They have been doing this for 70+ years. If they are silent, we need to be careful.

  7. Paki is very predictably irrational .
    Whatever little credibility has gone out of the window. Word associations are important.
    The word “Pakistan” evokes the words “Osama Binu LAden, Terrorists, and cab driver. ?

  8. I think Imran Khan is acting responsibly, our Prime Minister is fond of adventurism and gamble.
    He took a gamble on demonetisation
    He has taken a gamble on Kashmir
    The fascist ideology of the ruling party and the rabid communalism this ideology has created will rise up and bite the hand that feeds it, this is the law of unintended consequences.
    The change of status in Kashmir was not a rational decision but a political one, a populist measure to please the millions indoctrinated over the years by the Sang Privar.
    The RSS ideology has unleashed a monster which the PM will not be able to control. The extreme nationalist wave will eventually sweep all rational voices away and will sweep us towards war.
    THESE ARE THE DANGERS IMRAN KHAN REFERRED TO
    1- There are going to be future militant attacks, such is the anger within the Kashmiri people.
    2- INDIA will blame Pakistan and retaliate with so called surgical strikes
    3- Pakistan will retaliate with all its might
    4- Then we have conventional war. – This quickly escalates into a nuclear war.
    The nuclear winter will darken the skies even in a limited war and will last at least for ten years, in the following famine half the world population dies. Google India PAK nuclear war.

    • Avoid long posts. People don’t read.
      I don’t believe you are from India. Your tone sounds like you are from Occupied “Pakistan”.

      My personal conviction is overwhelming majority of Indian Muslims are patriotic Indians. Such as Mr Syed Akbaruddin.

      The real India haters and traitors are commie, left wing extremist India haters, most of whom happen to be Hindus -examples N Ram, Yechury, Manishankar ayyar, Ramachandra Gooha, commenter Rajiv here, etc

    • Everything is fine. But they can’t afford one. Neither does it’s only friend ready under its current situation. Relax. And also try to read up some proper history books. I’m pretty sure you are not from India. Atleast previously ‘mainland’ India. Thank you.

    • Aap kya kar ke aaye hein ashraf mian? White powder ya kali daal ? Or both? ( BW – lol) Ye modi sarkar hai. This is not the sarkars of the past. Pakistan will rave & rant. Thakk jayega tow wail & whine karega. You wait & watch. Imran has 30 to 40k fully armed fully trained Terrorists beyond his Control. They will cause havoc in pakistan. India is Alert. We will slaughter them if they come near us even in ones, twos, or threes, or all together. We have called your bluff. In the bargain pakistan will keep going deeper into the gutter. Bhooka – Nanga mulk hai.

  9. Israel has never acknowledged its nuclear capabilities. The people for whom its hundred odd warheads are meant know they exist. That is how these weapons of peace should be treated on the subcontinent. 2. The two nations are not talking to each other. Should an odd situation arise and intermediation by common friends not succeed, on something as simple as return of a captured pilot, anything could happen.
