New Delhi : In a bid to stop India's strong action against Pakistan's negligence to combat terrorism, Pakistani defence minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif on Wednesday said that Islamabad is open to using tactical devices if it feels its safety is in danger.

He spoke to Pakistani TV channel SAMAA on the back drop of Uri attacks and India's boycott for the 19th SAARC Summit.

Earlier, he had claimed the same comment on Geo TV on September 17, a day before India faced militant attack on Uri Army base.
