OPINION | Pakistan can no more hide behind nuke threat

US President Donald Trump has claimed that his top officials averted a nuclear conflict between India and Pakistan on time. Trump had said, “I think it could have been a bad nuclear war. Millions of people could have been killed.” The question is, who told the US President that India and Pakistan were on the verge of a nuclear war? The Indian government has denied that Pakistan’s nuclear assets were hit. During a media briefing, the Director General of Air Operations Air Marshal AK Bharti was asked about widespread speculation about the impact of India’s air strike on a suspected nuclear site called Kirana Hills near Pakistan Air Force’s Mushaf air base in Sargodha. Air Marshal AK Bharti clearly said, “Indian forces did not know about the site. We did not hit Kirana hills, whatever is there”.
