Pakistan not to use nuclear weapons first, says Imran Khan

Islamabad: Pakistan will not use nuclear weapons first, Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Monday, amid tensions with arch-rival India after New Delhi revoked the special status of Kashmir.

"We both are nuclear-armed countries. If these tensions increase, the world could be in danger," Khan said addressing members of the Sikh religious community in Lahore. "There will be no first from our side ever," he said.
