“If we need to use nuclear weapons for "our survival, we will," said Pakistan’s Defence Minister Khawaja Asif.

In an interview to Geo News, he said that Pakistan’s defence capability is strong. The use of nuclear weapons was an option as they were not merely kept for show but as deterrents, he said.

“We should pray that such an option never arises, but if we need to use them (nuclear weapons) for our survival we will," he added.  

Is Pakistan planning something? Should India be worried? Tell us what you think.
