Pakistan has strongly refuted recent remarks by India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) accusing Field Marshal Asim Munir of “nuclear blackmail,” condemning them as misleading and out of context. In a statement on Monday, the Foreign Office described the Indian stance as an example of its “chronic tendency” to distort facts, adding that Islamabad firmly opposes the use or threat of force. It accused New Delhi of “sabre-rattling” and issuing “baseless allegations bereft of rationality.”
Reaffirming Pakistan’s responsible nuclear policy, the FO noted that its command-and-control system remains under civilian oversight and is operated with discipline and restraint. It also pointed to Pakistan’s internationally recognised counterterrorism efforts, dismissing Indian claims as “irresponsible” and “without evidence.”

Islamabad criticised India’s attempts to involve third parties in bilateral disputes, calling it a “sign of diplomatic weakness,” and warned of a swift, proportional response to any aggression or violation of sovereignty. The remarks followed Field Marshal Munir’s address to the Pakistani-American community during his official visit to the United States, where he reaffirmed that Kashmir remains an international dispute under UN resolutions. He warned that any Indian aggression would meet with a firm response, lauded overseas Pakistanis as “a brain gain,” and urged them to invest in Pakistan’s development.

Munir also accused India of transnational terrorist activities, citing the killing of a Sikh leader in Canada, the Kulbhushan Jadhav case, and incidents involving Indian naval officers in Qatar. He condemned India’s actions in Kashmir and criticised its ambitions of becoming a “Vishwaguru” despite what he called “destabilising policies.”
