‘India Won’t Be Blackmailed by Pakistan’s Nuclear Bluff’: Baijayant Panda

Manama: As part of India’s global outreach regarding Operation Sindoor, BJP MP Baijayant Panda, leading an all-party delegation to Bahrain, said that India has firmly called out Pakistan’s “nuclear bluff” and made it clear that future provocations will be met with strong retaliation.

Addressing prominent personalities during an interaction in Bahrain, Panda said, “We will no longer be blackmailed by their nuclear bluff... we can and will retaliate. Things will never go anywhere close to being nuclear because our intention is not hostility, our intention is to extract the cost to deter them.”

He also thanked the Bahrain government for its consistent support to India and condemnation of the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack.

BJP MP Baijayant Panda said, “Bahrain and India have deep and long-standing relations...I would like to thank the Bahrain government for the consistent stand it has taken. We also appreciate the strong comments made by Bahrain during the recent developments. We are here at a difficult time. On one hand, India is doing very well now...we are expanding friendships, trade and relations across the world....(In the Pahalgam terror attack) 26 people were killed after verifying their religion in front of their wives and children. India has faced many such horrific terror attacks, and terrorism is something that no country tolerates...Our problem is that all terror attacks are coordinated from one neighbour to our west...”

“Our new doctrine is, we have called their (Pakistan) nuclear bluff, we will no longer be blackmailed by their nuclear bluff....we can and will retaliate, things will never go anywhere close to being nuclear because our intention is not hostility, our intention is to extract the cost to deter them,” Panda said.
