Najam Sethi, Pakistani journalist and political analyst, Najam Sethi, in an interview with the main Indian journalist, Karan Thapar, explained that Pakistan’s nuclear doctrine indicating that Islamabad’s policy is based on the conviction that if the country was to face the existential threat of India, it would be justified to launch a nuclear strike, accepting the consequences that followed.
Sethi stressed that this position is the main reason why Pakistan has constantly refused to sign the non-use treaty.
Najam Sethi, Pakistani journalist and political analyst, Najam Sethi, warned that if India is trying to block the water supply of Pakistan or performs economic strangulation, Islamabad can use the use of nuclear self -defense weapons.
During the television interview, where the two journalists of Senion addressed growing tensions between the two neighbors following the recent attack by Pahalgam, Sethi described India’s allegations against Pakistan as “without foundation” and qualified the incident a false flag operation.
He allegedly allegedly allegedly elected within the India’s security and intelligence establishment or “the deep state” were probably involved.
“There are still no answers on the failure of Indian security forces and intelligence agencies to prevent the incident,” he said.
He noted that the Pakistani authorities responded calmly and responsiblely, without igniting tensions or issuing unaccompanied reconstruction requests. “Unlike the Indian media, which avoids asking difficult questions to its leadership, the Pakistani media and civil servants have maintained a limited position,” said Sethi. “If there is credible evidence, it must be presented to the international community, and not simply disseminated at the national level for political mileage.”
The former Punjab Caretaker -in -Caretaker added that the public feeling in Pakistan remains largely imperturbable by Indian allegations, most people dealing with demands as exaggerated or non -unbalanced.
However, he stressed that the Pakistani government seriously considers the situation and is preparing for any eventuality.
Addressing issues on nuclear threats, Sethi said that Pakistan’s nuclear doctrine includes the defensive use of arms under existential threats. “As one of our former prime ministers said, we have not built nuclear weapons to celebrate religious festivals,” he said. “If India crosses a red line – trying to block water, invade the Pakistani territory or economically strangle Karachi – a nuclear response on our own soil cannot be excluded.”
Sethi also underlined the regional dimensions of the crisis, declaring that China, with its growing investments and its strategic interests in Pakistan, is looking closely at developments. “It is no longer a bilateral question between India and Pakistan,” he said. “The involvement of China, both by economic investment and military cooperation, means that the consequences of an escalation could extend far beyond South Asia.”
He concluded by urging India to accept an independent international survey, perhaps involving the United States or other global stakeholders, to resolve the issue transparently and to avoid additional instability.
