In a recent article Ms Manpreet Sethi made three points against Pakistan. These are given in italics below and under each is the Pakistani point of view.—For Pakistan—-nuclear weapons serve the purpose of deterring India’s conventional superiority. The Indian conventional strength bothers Pakistan because it fears its coming into play in response to its continued support for terrorism on Indian Territory. In one sense then, the objective of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons is to provide it with the space and the immunity to continue its policy of bleeding India through a thousand cuts while shielding itself against a conventional Indian response.—Ms Manpreet Sethi
