British people mock Pakistan Army Chief’s nuclear threat and show his recklessness

These are absolutely scandalous & disgraceful, said British political commentator and author David Vance in response to a tweet containing the Army chief’s alleged nuclear threats red phone call.

Talking to ANI he said, “The remarks made are totally abominable and offensive. They are reckless. It is totally insane for anyone to think about attacking India and having a nuclear exchange.

The response from India has been calibrated and consistent. He shouldnt be let off with such incendiary comments, he said.

Responding to a question on the remarks, MEA spokesperson said comments were of course “regrettable” and it was ironic that these were coming from soil of friendly third country. That these remarks were made from the soil of a friendly third country was also unfortunate, the official said.

“The spokesperson of the MEA uploaded comments saying that India is not likely to capitulate to any form of nuclear blackmail. India is willing to take all necessary steps to safeguard the country’s nuclear security. The spokesperson further underlined that the MEA is deeply concerned over…”
