'Our military action targeted...': What MEA said on ‘nuclear' questions around Pakistan
Randhir Jaiswal, spokesperson for the ministry of external affairs, on Tuesday addressed questions about alleged damage to Pakistan's nuclear facility in Kirana Hills during the recent conflict that followed Operation Sindoor. He indicated that it was for the Pakistani side to respond to such claims.
'Talk of Egyptian American aircraft etc — those questions are for them to answer, not for us... In the defence briefing our side became very clear... As far as your question, the Pak minister also had made some comments on that,' he said.
Clarifying India's position, he stated, 'The military action from our side was entirely on the conventional domain... There were some reports, however, that Pak National Command Authority will meet... It was denied by them... Pakistan GM has himself denied on record.'
He also reiterated India's broader policy approach:
'As you know, India has a firm stand that it will not give to nuclear blackmail or allow crossword terrorism to be conducted, invoking it in conversations with various countries, we've also cautioned that they subscribing to such scenarios would hurt them in their own region.'
