'Pakistan's nuclear program is solely for peaceful activities', says the country's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif while refuting the talk of a nuclear exchange between Islamabad and India during May's four-day conflict between the two neighbors.
"Pakistan’s nuclear programme is solely for peaceful purposes and national defence, not for aggression," said Sharif.
The comments came as Sharif addressed a group of Pakistani students on Saturday. Recalling and speaking on the military conflict between India and Pakistan, Sharif said that their forces responded with full might.
India launched Operation Sindoor targeting and busting nine terror infrastructures in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the 22 April Pahalgam attack that took 26 lives, 25 Indians and 1 Nepali citizen.
Following India's retaliatory 7 May operation, the military conflict between the two countries escalated, leading to a 'ceasefire agreement' on 10 May.
