MAY 06:In a recent sharp exchange of words, Union Minister Giriraj Singh has responded strongly to a statement made by Farooq Abdullah regarding Pakistan’s military capabilities. Abdullah’s comment hinted at the strength and readiness of Pakistan, suggesting, “Pakistan is not wearing bangles.” This metaphor implied that Pakistan is fully prepared and capable of defending itself or asserting its power.
Responding to Abdullah’s provocative assertion, Giriraj Singh countered with an equally pointed remark. He said, “Hey… Pakistan is wearing bangles only,” using the same metaphor to imply the opposite about Pakistan’s strength and preparedness.
Further emphasizing the strength of India’s own military capabilities, Singh remarked on India’s nuclear arsenal as a rebuttal to any implied threat. “If Pakistan has an atom bomb, India’s atom bombs too are not mere crackers in the house,” he declared. This statement underscores India’s robust nuclear capabilities, positioned as a deterrent against any potential aggression from neighboring countries.
This exchange highlights the ongoing tense rhetoric between leaders when discussing the delicate balance of power in the region, particularly concerning nuclear capabilities and military readiness. Singh’s remarks serve as a reminder of the continued assertiveness of India’s stance on its security and defense posture in the face of regional challenges.
