The Indian defense minister warned Pakistan it would be "erased from the world map" if Islamabad used nuclear weapons against India.
In a phone-in program with the British Broadcasting Corp. on Sunday night, India's Defense Minister George Fernandes said "We have been saying all through, that the person who heads Pakistan today, who is also the whole and sole in-charge of that country, has been talking about using dangerous weapons including the nukes."
"Well, I would reply by saying that if Pakistan has decided that it wants to get itself destroyed and erased from the world map, then it may take this step of madness, but if wants to survive then it would not do so," he said. (Albawaba.com)
