Basit, who served as Islamabad’s top diplomat in New Delhi from 2014 to 2017 framed India as Pakistan’s “default” target in a worst-case scenario where the US targets its nuclear assets.
As tensions in West Asia intensify amid the ongoing Iran war involving the United States and Israel, a controversial statement by former Pakistan High Commissioner to India Abdul Basit has raised fresh concerns about regional security.
Speaking about a hypothetical worst-case scenario, Basit, who served as Islamabad’s top diplomat in New Delhi from 2014 to 2017, suggested that Pakistan could strike India if faced with an existential military threat from the US or Israel.
Ye janab pagal hogye hain completely. Kuch bhi boley jarey hain aur phir country ka naam kharab hota hai. Please don’t judge the entire nation based on these people.
I hate this bakwas talks for no reason. Agar karna hai to phely poverty khatam karey, infrastructure improve karey, education me invest karey na key ye faltu ki galat baat to further fuel hatred.
