Amid heightened tensions with India following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif issued a chilling threat, saying, “If our existence is in danger, then either we survive, or no one does.” His statement, seen as an indirect nuclear threat, drew sharp criticism. Asif also compared India's stance to Israel’s actions in Gaza, accusing India of pushing Pakistan toward conflict. The remarks come after the April 22 attack that killed 26 tourists, prompting India to consider military options. BJP leaders in India called Asif’s comments “hollow threats,” saying Pakistan’s leadership is panicked and desperate. (PC: Reuters)
