His tweet came hours after Pakistan Army spokesman Major General Asif Ghafoor also issued a threat to India wrapped under nuclear war statements.
"Should they [India] wish to test our resolve they may try and see it for themselves. We have a credible nuclear capability exclusive[ly] meant for threat[s] from [the] East," Ghafoor told state-run PTV World, as reported by Pakistani daily Dawn.
Indian military chief Bipin Rawat, during a press conference on Friday, had said: “We will call the (nuclear) bluff of Pakistan. If we will have to really confront the Pakistanis, and a task is given to us, we are not going to say we cannot cross the border because they have nuclear weapons. We will have to call their nuclear bluff."
