Pakistan Calls India ‘Sinister’ And Threatens To Start A Nuclear War On Twitter
The rivalry between India and Pakistan is always there in terms of cricket. While the border issues are never-ending, Indians particularly on the Internet, many share brotherly bond with the neighboring nationalities, Pakistanis are no exception. Unless few cocky tweets and trolls might spark outrage in between the both, everything otherwise remains calm.
Recently, we have seen the verified Twitter handle of Pakistan Defence trying to pounce on India, they tried to insult India on the Internet, shared a picture of a girl holding a placard that read, “I am an Indian but I hate India, because India is a colonial entity that has occupied nations such as Nagas, Kashmiris, Manipuris, Hyderabad Junagarh, Sikkim, Mizoram, Goa.”
Though Indians never messed up with Pakistan this way, it is Pakistanis who always comes up with one or other problem. Now, once again, Pakistan tried to mess with India on the military aspects. This happened a day after Indian Army Chief General Bipin Rawat warned of calling out Pakistan’s “nuclear bluff”, the country’s top civil and military leaders threatened to stir a ‘nuclear encounter’ with India.
After this, issuing the nuclear threat, Pakistan foreign minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif took to Twitter on Saturday wrote,
“Very irresponsible statement by Indian Army Chief,not befitting his office. Amounts to invitation for nuclear encounter.If that is what they desire,they are welcome to test our resolve.The general’s doubt would swiftly be removed, inshallah.”

This tweet from Khawaja came soon after Pakistan Army spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor also threatened India with a nuclear strike.
“Should they [India] wish to test our resolve they may try and see it for themselves. We have a credible nuclear capability exclusive[ly] meant for threat[s] from [the] East,” Ghafoor told state-run PTV World. Following Ghafoor’s statement, Dr Mohammad Faisal, the Spokesperson of Pakistan’s Foreign Affairs Ministry, also tweeted:
The threatening and irresponsible statement by the Indian Army Chief today is representative of a sinister mindset that has taken hold of India. Pakistan has demonstrated deterrence capability.1/2

These are not issues to be taken lightly. There must not be any misadventure based on miscalculation. Pakistan is fully capable of defending itself. 2/2

After all this was said and written, during a press conference on Friday, the Army chief Rawat had said, “We will call the (nuclear) bluff of Pakistan. If we will have to really confront the Pakistanis, and a task is given to us, we are not going to say we cannot cross the border because they have nuclear weapons. We will have to call their nuclear bluff.”
However, Pakistan has been facing the heat from the international community for a while now.
