The Congress has issued a strong condemnation of Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir's remarks made on US soil, in which he threatened nuclear action against India. The comments have drawn significant concern from Indian leaders, calling attention to the delicate balance in South Asian geopolitics.

In his speech to the Pakistani diaspora in Tampa, Munir reportedly signaled threats of nuclear retaliation if Pakistan's existence was threatened by India, raising alarms over regional stability and US diplomatic involvement.

The Indian Ministry of External Affairs responded forcefully, reaffirming its refusal to succumb to nuclear blackmail, and criticized the US for providing a platform for such incendiary discourse. The incident further complicates the already tense India-Pakistan relations.
