Pakistan will be in big trouble if India directly attacks…, generations could be destroyed due to…
The recent terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam on 22 April has further escalated tensions between India and Pakistan, pushing relations between the two countries to a dangerous turn. As many as 26 people lost their lives in the attack. The situation has deteriorated to such an extent that discussions of war have begun. As Pakistan is threatening nuclear retaliation, India has also indicated a strong response.
In such a scenario, the big question is if India decides to respond, should it limit its action to the border? Or should New Delhi directly target the very capability with which Pakistan is threatening the world – nuclear bases? Experts believe that if India aims to neutralise Pak's nuclear power, it must avoid scattered action and focus directly on Pakistan's nuclear bases. Pakistan Is Increasing Its Nuclear Stockpile
As per a report by Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, Islamabad is rapidly increasing its nuclear stockpile and preparation has also been made to make weapons and launch them at all three levels, that is – land, air and sea. The main focus is to enhance its ability to attack every corner of India. The report states that Pakistan's 'full spectrum deterrence' strategy includes all three types of nuclear weapons – strategic, operational and tactical. Missiles are being prepared keeping in mind to launch it from anywhere. Notably, these bases are very close to the Indian border such as Gujranwala Garrison and Pano Akil Garrison, which are only 60-85 km away. Locations Where One Strike From India Could Ensure Total Destruction
Gujranwala Garrison: This garrison of Pakistan is just 60 km away from the Indian border. Pak has deployed tactical nuclear missile systems here, such as Nasr (Hatf-9), for a quick launch. Its range is so much that Punjab, Haryana and Delhi can be directly targeted.
Pano Akil Garrison: India's western border can be targeted from this base in Sindh province. Launchers of missiles like – Babur and Shaheen are often seen in satellite images. The spot has space for about 50 TELs (launching trucks).
Akro Garrison: The base has six special bunker-like garages for missile launchers. Two cross-shaped underground structures built underground confirm that serious nuclear operations can be carried out from here. TELs of Babur cruise missile have also been seen in this garrison.
Sargodha Garrison: A site in Pakistan, integral to the nation's nuclear program since the 1980s, houses over ten underground bunkers and associated infrastructure. A nearby facility, the Sargodha Weapons Storage Complex, stores nuclear weapons.
Khuzdar Garrison: Pakistan's construction of three new TEL (transporter erector launcher) garages and underground weapons storage facilities in its southwest has raised concerns in India due to the base's strategic location.
As per the report, if India targets these Pakistani central nuclear sites in a pre-emptive attack, then Pak's nuclear capability could be completely destroyed.

Rajnath Singh: Pakistan on UNSC anti-terror panel is like cat guarding milk
DEHRADUN: Defence minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday said the United Nations Security Council 's (UNSC) decision to appoint Pakistan as vice-chair of its anti-terror panel was like "asking the cat to guard milk". The UN decision is not only surprising but also raises a question mark over the seriousness of the global body in the fight against terrorism, he said. Calling upon the global community and organisations, such as the United Nations, to think on issues like terrorism more seriously, he said, "Only when we are free from terrorism, will we be able to move towards the goal of global peace, progress and prosperity." Singh, addressing a dialogue on 'national security & terrorism', said, "India and Pakistan gained independence at the same time. Today, while India is recognised as the 'mother of democracy', Pakistan has emerged as the 'father of global terrorism'." Addressing a dialogue on 'National Security & Terrorism', here, he described Operation Sindoor as the biggest action taken against terrorism in Indian history, and that it was carried out in response to the terror attack on innocents in Pahalgam. He advised Pakistan to seek India's help if it is unable to take action against terrorism on its soil.

BJP minority wing's chaupal in Shaheen Bagh to encourage women to join army gets tepid response
New Delhi: Inside a hall adorned with brightly coloured banners of BJP's minority wing at Shaheen Bagh on Tuesday, a chaupal was organised to encourage women to join the Indian Army. It was a stark contrast to the passionate protests that echoed through the lanes of Shaheen Bagh in 2020. Shaheen Bagh was the epicentre of the CAA-NRC protest in 2020. The chaupal drew a small gathering of mostly party workers. When the event started, five women were present, but after a few minutes, only two were left. Both women were associated with the party's minority wing. Speaking at the event, Jamil Siddiqui, national president of BJP's Minority Morcha, said the chaupal was organised after the successful completion of 11 years of tenure of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. "We are talking about govt schemes and achievements of the Prime Minister, highlighting how he elevated India's status globally and led the country to new heights of success. We are also encouraging our daughters to step out, pursue education, and join the workforce, including the military. " Giving the example of Col. Sofia Qureshi, who briefed the media during Operation Sindoor, Siddiqui said: "Sofia, a daughter of our society, showcased the strength of Indian women to the world, demonstrated female empowerment, and made a mark for her community, Islam, India, and Indian culture. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Capital Gains Exemptions for Seniors SmartAsset Learn More Undo We want our daughters to receive military training, join the army, become Agniveers, and, if necessary, fight enemies at the border like Colonel Sofia. They should be able to protect themselves from harassment and domestic violence." He added that with similar discussions, they aim to organise numerous gatherings across the country. When asked about the tepid response received to the chaupal, Siddiqui said: "We have invited only key party workers here. It is a type of training for them as we will discuss with them. Our representatives will then go around Delhi, visiting homes and holding meetings to inform people about govt schemes. We will encourage our daughters to step out, advance, and participate in education and employment." A copy of the Indian Constitution was also distributed among the participants. Outside the chaupal, women said they were unaware of the programme as there was no announcement or publicity about it. However, women added that Col Qureshi is an inspiring figure for them. Aeman Hayat Siddiqui, who aspires to become a teacher, said, "Col Qureshi is an inspiration. We want our daughters to make progress and make the country proud." She added, "I completed my education and am looking for a govt job. We want the govt to create more vacancies." Mariam, a NEET aspirant, said: "Col Sofia Qureshi's journey is motivating for everyone. I feel that women can achieve anything."
