DUBAI – Former president General (retd) Pervez Musharraf has ruled out theuse of nuclear weapons in case of an armed conflict between India andPakistan in the aftermath of February 14 suicide attack in occupiedKashmir’s Pulwama district which left over 40 paramilitary forces killed.
“It is ridiculous even to say that there will be use of atom bomb in caseof any war between the nuclear neighbours.
If Pakistan uses one bomb, India will use 20 bombs so Pakistan may have touse 50 – this is disastrous,” the ex-military ruler said while replying toquestion at a news conference in Dubai on Friday, according to *Gulf News*.
“People who are talking about such possibilities have no idea of warfare,”he said, adding that nuclear weapon at best is a deterrence and should notbe used by anyone.
The former president went on to say that the relations between Islamabadand New Delhi have been very tense and even dangerous for the 10 months.
