Pakistan’s army chief, General Asim Munir, sparked controversy during his US visit by making anti-India remarks, including a threat to target Reliance’s Jamnagar refinery. India strongly condemned Munir’s “nuclear sabre-rattling” and questioned the safety of Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal. Despite Pakistan’s threats, India’s military strength surpasses Pakistan’s, with a larger active military and a growing nuclear arsenal.

Chandrababu Naidu asserted that time would determine which nation faced economic decline, and went on to describe the tariffs imposed on India as a temporary measure.

Asaduddin Owaisi condemned Asim Munir’s nuclear threat, calling his remarks “condemnable” and calling him ‘sadakchaap’. Owaisi also urged India to increase its defence budget.
