What is Pakistan’s policy on the use of nuclear weapons?
Pakistan has no ‘no first use’ nuclear policy. It only depends on the high command of Pakistan that when and in what condition they have to carry out a nuclear strike. In 1999, Pakistan’s foreign minister rejected the ‘no first use’ nuclear policy, saying, ‘We can use every necessary weapon for the security of our country at any time.’
What does India say?
At the same time, India declared its nuclear policy of ‘no first use’ in the year 1999. According to this, India will never use nuclear weapons first. India will resort to its nuclear weapons only in the event of a nuclear attack.
