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.

Since 1960, poll rolls being shared with parties: CEC Gyanesh Kumar
NEW DELHI: In a first but indirect rejoinder to Rahul Gandhi's allegations of enrolment of fake voters for Maharashtra polls, chief election commissioner Gyanesh Kumar underscored the statutory sharing of electoral rolls with all recognised political parties year after year since 1960, with a provision for them to make claims, objections and appeals. Delivering the inaugural address at the International Conference on Electoral Integrity (IDEA) in Stockholm on Tuesday, Kumar described the annual roll revision exercise in India as "the world's most rigorous and transparent", adding that it reinforced the accuracy and integrity of the electoral process. He noted that "this robust mechanism plays a vital role in upholding electoral credibility across the country, year after year". Rahul recently reiterated his charge that BJP owed its landslide win in Maharashtra last year to an unusual surge in number of voters after Lok Sabha polls. Officials in Election Commission, speaking anonymously, had dismissed the charge, saying addition of votes in Maharashtra was less than the increase in number of voters for Telangana and Jharkhand polls which were won by Congress and its allies. Congress kept up its protest, while also emphasising that EC officials had not spoken "on record". by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo Apprising the participants - representing election management bodies (EMBs) of around 50 countries - about the massive scale of Indian elections conducted under the watch of political parties, candidates, observers and the media, the CEC said the poll panel, with over 20 million personnel, including polling staff, police forces and observers, "becomes the world's largest organisation, surpassing the combined workforce of several national govts and major global corporations and ensures that India's nearly one billion electors are freely able to exercise their franchise". Kumar traced the evolution of Indian elections over the decades, noting how the system has adapted to increasing complexity while staying rooted in constitutional values. "From 173 million electors in 1951-52 to 979 million in 2024, and from just 0.2 million polling stations in the early years to over 1.05 million today, India's electoral journey has demonstrated both institutional foresight and unmatched scale," he said. Kumar added that 743 political parties and 20,271 candidates contested elections across the country using 6.2 million EVMs. Reflecting on the inclusive design of Indian elections, Kumar said the electoral process serves first-time voters, senior citizens aged 85+, persons with special abilities, third-gender electors, and voters in the most inaccessible regions with equal care and commitment. From polling booths with a single elector to highest altitude stations like Tashigang in Himachal Pradesh, India's commitment to leaving no voter behind is reiterated as a constitutional principle rather than a logistical challenge, he said.

Asked Modi to stop Hasina from speaking, he said not possible due to social media: Yunus
LONDON: Chief adviser to the interim Bangladesh govt, Mohammad Yunus , told delegates at Chatham House Wednesday he had asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi to stop ousted Bangladesh PM Sheikh Hasina from 'speaking' after she fled to India but Modi replied that it was not possible because of social media. 'I said to PM Modi: 'You want to host her? I can't force you to abandon that policy, but please help us in making sure she doesn't speak to Bangladeshi people the way she is doing as the whole of Bangladesh gets very angry.' India is not doing what I asked. Modi's answer was: 'It is social media, we can't control it.' What can you say? It's an explosive situation. You can't just walk away by saying it's social media,' Yunus said. 'We want to build the best relationship with India – but somehow things go wrong all the time because of all fake news coming from the Indian press,' he said. 'Some people say it has connections with policy makers at the top. This is what makes Bangladesh very jittery. A whole barrage of things keep happening in cyber space.' Yunus said Awami League didn't need to be part of the 2026 elections as 'it isn't a political party'. He pledged to hold 'the most beautiful election ever'. 'If they can kill young people on the street, make people disappear, steal money, would you call them a political party? None of them has ever expressed remorse. For the safety of politics of this country, the nation has decided that, for time being, the activities of Awami League will be suspended until the trial is over,' he said, referring to the trial of perpetrators of violence under the Hasina regime. 'We have not banned Awami League. ' Protests marked Yunus' visit to Chatham House. 'How can he ban the Awami League? He is not even elected. He has no authority,' said one of the Bangladeshi diaspora protesters outside, chanting, 'Yunus terrorist'. One held a placard calling for the release of former Iskcon monk Chinmoy Prabhu.
