Exposing Pakistan’s Hidden Nuclear Doctrine, Sites, and Storage—While India’s Spiritual Strength Ensures Peaceful Resolve

 India’s Iron Fist Unleashed: Operation Sindoor-2 Crushes Pakistan’s Nuclear Mirage on Our Terms!

Introduction: A Nation on the Edge of Chaos

It was morning 7:50 AM IST on, May 10, 2025, and I was sitting in my study in Gurugram, the air thick with tension. My phone buzzes incessantly with notifications—each one a dagger to the heart. “India launches Operation Sindoor-2, targeting Pakistani nuclear facilities!” screams a headline. Social media is ablaze with reports of tremors near nuclear sites, later a U.S. B-350 aircraft scanning for radiation leaks, and whispers of a nuclear brink that could engulf indian subcontinent in flames. I’m Raman Malik, a proud Sanatani Hindu, a father, and a writer just wanting to express, who has dedicated years to exploring the intersection of politics, spirituality, geopolitics, and national pride. But nothing—nothing—prepared me for this moment. As I think of my daughter & son playing in the next room, there laughter a stark contrast to the chaos unfolding, I’m gripped by a chilling realization: we were inches away from a nuclear catastrophe.

In the spring of 2025, India and Pakistan, two nuclear powers with a combined about 330 warheads, stood on the precipice of disaster. Operation Sindoor-2, India’s punitive preemptive strike on Pakistani nuclear facilities, was triggered by intelligence reports of Pakistan conducting clandestine tests on aging warheads at Kirana Hills, all while 31 earthquakes rocked the region between April 29 and May 22. The stakes were unimaginable: millions of lives, a potential nuclear winter, and a region steeped in spiritual traditions that have long preached peace. This blog isn’t just a recounting of events—it’s a deep dive into Pakistan’s nuclear infrastructure. These seismic risks turned a tense standoff into a global crisis, the historical context of the Expanded Indian Subcontinent, and the spiritual wisdom of Sanatan Dharma and Sikhism that offers a path to restraint. Did Operation Sindoor-2 strip Pakistan’s nuclear ambitions bare, exposing vulnerabilities the world can’t ignore? Let’s unravel this high-stakes drama and seek the wisdom to navigate a nuclear age. #OperationSindoor2 #NuclearCrisis #IndiaPakistanTensions

Section 1: The Nuclear Cheque of Power—Signed with the Ink of Destruction

Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal, a formidable 170 warheads, is a cheque of power—a promise of deterrence backed by the currency of potential devastation. From the Shaheen-III missile, capable of striking targets 2750 km away, to the tactical Nasr missile, designed to counter India’s conventional military superiority, Pakistan’s capabilities are both impressive and deeply alarming. Its infrastructure, a sprawling network of facilities and storage sites, stretches from the bustling port city of Karachi to the rugged terrains of Sargodha, supporting everything from plutonium production to missile assembly. But this check has risks that could render it void: seismic vulnerabilities, reliance on foreign technology, and the ever-present threat of escalation with India.

I remember a conversation with a retired army officer at a Delhi seminar in 2024, where he warned me about Pakistan’s nuclear ambitions. “Raman,” he said, his voice heavy with concern, “Pakistan’s arsenal is a double-edged sword—it protects them, but it also endangers the entire region.” His words echo in my mind as I now write this, especially when I consider the seismic risks we’ll explore later. For now, let’s examine the backbone of Pakistan’s nuclear program—its strategic installations and storage sites, many of which lie in seismically active zones, making them ticking time bombs.

Table 1: Key Nuclear Installations and Storage Sites in Pakistan

Site Name	Region	Purpose	Facility Type
Chashma 1-4	Mianwali	Plutonium production, nuclear power generation	Reactor, Centrifuge
Khushab 1-4	Khushab	Plutonium production (40–130 MW capacity)	Reactor
KANUPP 1-2	Karachi	Nuclear power production (125 MW), fuel processing	Reactor, Fuel Processing
Dera Ghazi Khan	Dera Ghazi Khan	Uranium processing, nuclear waste storage	Chemical Plant
Wah Centrifuge	Wah	Uranium enrichment, waste storage	Centrifuge
PINSTECH	Nilore	Research, nuclear waste storage	Research Facility
Baghal Char Mine	Dera Ghazi Khan	Uranium mining, waste storage	Mine
Kirana Hills	Sargodha	Storage of nuclear materials	Storage Facility
Khuzdar	Khuzdar	Suspected nuclear missile storage and launch	Storage and Launch
Masroor	Karachi	Nuclear weapon storage, possibly for C&C and Mirage bombs	Storage and Command

This table reveals the diversity of Pakistan’s nuclear infrastructure, from power generation to waste storage. Sites like Kirana Hills and Khuzdar, which we’ll revisit in the context of the 2025 conflict, are particularly concerning due to their proximity to seismic zones—a vulnerability that could spell disaster. I can’t help but think of the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, where a single mishap led to catastrophic consequences. If a quake were to compromise a site like Kirana Hills, the fallout could be unimaginable, not just for Pakistan but for the entire region.

But Pakistan’s nuclear program isn’t just about reactors and mines—it’s a complex web of strategic installations dedicated to missile storage, launch capabilities, and command operations. Intelligence sources paint a chilling picture: some of these sites may operate under civilian cover, masking their true purpose and making international oversight nearly impossible. The following table sheds light on this hidden network, revealing the extent of Pakistan’s nuclear ambitions.

Table 2: Strategic Nuclear Installations and Potential Disguised Facilities

Installation	Location	Purpose	Type	Notes
Kala Chitta	Attock	Storage of nuclear materials	Storage	High-security storage site
Kirana Hills	Sargodha	Storage of nuclear materials	Storage	Known for cold tests in the 1980s
Kirthar	Karkh	Storage of nuclear materials	Storage	Strategic reserve site
Pano Aqil	Sukkur	Nuclear missile storage and launch	Storage and Launch	Supports missile deployment
Qambar Shadadkot	Larkana	Storage with tunnels	Storage	Tunnels for secure storage
Jinnah Cantt	Khuzdar	Nuclear missile storage and launch	Storage and Launch	Suspected dual-purpose site
Rahwali Cantt	Gujranwala	Nuclear missile storage and launch	Storage and Launch	Strategic missile hub
Jindar	Attock	Storage of nuclear materials	Storage	Backup storage facility
Petaro Cantt	Akro	Nuclear missile storage and launch, Babur and Shaheen missiles	Storage and Launch	Key launch site for advanced missiles
Chamba Pind	Haripur	Nuclear missile storage and launch	Storage and Launch	Supports northern defenses
NDC	Shahpur	National Development Complex, possible storage for Shaheen 1, 2, and Babur	Assembly and Storage	Major assembly and development hub
Masroor	Karachi	Nuclear weapon storage, command and control, possible Mirage bombs	Storage and Command	Critical for air force operations
PNRA	Islamabad	Regulatory oversight for nuclear activities	Admin	Oversees nuclear safety
POF	Wah, Rawalpindi	Weapons manufacturing, possibly for nuclear components	R&D, Manufacturing	Known for ordnance production
PAC	Kamra	Aircraft and missile systems development	R&D, Manufacturing	Supports nuclear-capable aircraft
KRL	Kahuta	Nuclear research, cold testing	R&D	Central to warhead development
CWO	Pasrur	Infrastructure development for nuclear projects	Construction	Supports nuclear site expansion
FWO	Karachi	Military construction projects, possibly for nuclear facilities	Construction	Dual-purpose construction
NEC	Islamabad	Electronics and missile technology development	R&D	Supports missile guidance systems
HIT	Taxila	Heavy mechanical production, possibly for missile components	R&D, Manufacturing	Key for military hardware
SPDO	Karachi	Training for nuclear operations	Training	Prepares personnel for nuclear roles

This table exposes a disturbing reality: Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities are deeply embedded in its military infrastructure, with some sites like POF and FWO potentially operating under civilian cover. For instance, the Pakistan Ordnance Factories (POF) in Wah, officially a munitions manufacturer, may also produce components for nuclear warheads—a dual role that complicates international oversight and raises serious ethical questions. Similarly, the Frontier Works Organization (FWO) in Karachi, known for construction, might be building tunnels or bunkers for nuclear storage, masked as civilian projects. This secrecy adds a layer of danger to an already volatile situation, making it harder for the global community to monitor Pakistan’s nuclear activities.

As a Sanatani Hindu, I believe in the principle of Ahimsa—non-violence—but I also understand the need for self-defense. India’s no-first-use (NFU) nuclear policy reflects this balance, a commitment to restraint that aligns with our dharma. Pakistan, however, has rejected an NFU policy, emphasizing first-use options to deter India’s larger conventional forces. This stance heightens regional tensions, creating a hair-trigger scenario where a single miscalculation could lead to disaster. I think back to the Kargil War of 1999, where both nations came close to nuclear brinkmanship. Back then, the conflict resulted in over 1,000 deaths, significant, but a far cry from the millions that a nuclear exchange could claim today.

Imagine this is the data, understanding, and knowledge that is available to a normal person like me, who is just a keen reader. What about the data, information, and resources the intelligence agency of a nation like India, having? Does the west, the United States , Pakistani and Chinese establishment think that India would not be prudently capable to understand the dynamics and capabilities for addressing thiss possible threat perception? Which is created by a banana army, and a failed democracy?

Now, let’s turn to Pakistan’s missile program, which has developed at an alarming pace, largely due to foreign assistance. The Ghauri missile, derived from North Korea’s Nodong-1, took just 5–7 years to become operational, while the Shaheen series, built on Chinese M-11 and M-18 technology, ranged from 4–12 years. The Babur cruise missile, reverse-engineered from a U.S. Tomahawk, took 5–9 years. Compare this to India’s Agni-V, which took 15–20 years due to indigenous R&D, or the U.S.’s Minuteman III, which required 7–10 years. The table below highlights these timelines, revealing Pakistan’s reliance on external support and raising questions about the sustainability of its nuclear program.

Table 3: Missile Development Timelines—A Global Comparison

Country	Missile System	Announcement Year	Operational Year	Time Taken (Years)	Notes
Pakistan	Ghauri (Hatf-5)	Mid-1990s	2002	5–7	North Korean Nodong-1, Chinese aid
Pakistan	Shaheen-I	Late 1990s	2003	4–5	Chinese M-11 tech
Pakistan	Shaheen-II	Early 2000s	2014	10–12	Chinese M-18 tech
Pakistan	Babur (Hatf-7)	2001	2010	5–9	Reverse-engineered Tomahawk
India	Agni-V	Late 1990s	2018	15–20	Indigenous
USA	Minuteman III	Early 1960s	1970	7–10	Indigenous R&D
France	M51 (SLBM)	1996	2016	14–18	Indigenous development
China	DF-21	1980s	1991	6–10	Indigenous, Soviet influence

Pakistan’s accelerated timelines, driven by Chinese and North Korean support, raise a critical question: Can a nation so reliant on external tech wield nuclear power responsibly? Especially when sites like Masroor and Jinnah Cantt are poised to launch missiles like the Babur and Shaheen at a moment’s notice, the answer feels unsettling. I recall a debate I participated in on Times Now in 2019, where a Pakistani analyst boasted about their missile capabilities. I countered with a simple truth: “Technology borrowed from others can’t substitute for the discipline required to handle nuclear power.” That statement feels more relevant now than ever, as Operation Sindoor-2 exposed the vulnerabilities in Pakistan’s nuclear framework.

Section 2: The Shadow of the Shaheen—A Nuclear Reckoning Unfolds

In the spring of 2025, the earth trembled, and so did the world. Pakistan’s clandestine tests at Kirana Hills, a nuclear storage site in Sargodha, sparked Operation Sindoor-2—India’s bold strike to neutralize a perceived threat. Intelligence from a defected Pakistani scientist, who risked his life to share information with Indian authorities, revealed non-explosive tests of aging warheads, possibly mishandled, coinciding with 31 earthquakes from April 29 to May 22, 2025. On May 5, quakes of 4.2 and 3.9 magnitude near Kirana Hills raised fears of a radiation leak, detected by the Sargodha seismic station. I can’t help but imagine the chaos in those moments—scientists scrambling, military officials on high alert, and the earth itself seeming to protest the hubris of tampering with such destructive power.

India’s response was swift and decisive. On May 9, BrahMos missiles—a symbol of India’s technological prowess—targeted Pakistani airbases: Rafiqui, Nur Khan, and Murid. Unverified reports suggest a strike on Kirana Hills itself, where satellite imagery later showed smoke and damage, hinting at a possible hit on a nuclear storage facility. I remember watching the news that night, my heart in my throat as visuals of smoke-filled skies flashed across the screen. “This is it,” I thought, “the moment we’ve all feared.” But India’s actions were calculated—a message to Pakistan: any move toward nuclear escalation will be met with overwhelming force.

Pakistan retaliated on May 10, launching a Shaheen missile toward Delhi, conventionally armed but nuclear-capable. India’s missile defense system, a testament to our technological advancements, intercepted it mid-flight, preventing a disaster that could have claimed thousands of lives. But the message was clear: Pakistan was willing to escalate to the nuclear brink. That same day, a 5.7 magnitude quake struck near the Hindu Kush, the largest in the period, fueling fears of compromised nuclear sites across the region. The U.S., alarmed by the specter of a nuclear exchange, deployed a B-350 AMS aircraft to assess radioactive activity near Kirana Hills, confirming international fears of a potential radiation leak.

The global response was immediate. China and Russia, already on edge due to the Ukraine conflict’s nuclear tensions, issued statements urging de-escalation, fearing South Asia might become the next flashpoint for a global crisis. A U.S.-brokered ceasefire on May 10, led by Rubio and Vance, halted the escalation, but the peace was fragile. Explosions in Srinagar and Jammu on May 11, likely the work of non-state actors exploiting the chaos, showed how quickly the situation could spiral out of control. I recall a WhatsApp message from a friend in Srinagar that day: “Raman, we heard blasts last night. People are scared. Is this the end?” His words haunted me, a stark reminder of the human cost of such conflicts.

The seismic activity paints a haunting picture. Between April 29 and May 22, 2025, 31 quakes shook the region, many near Kirana Hills. While natural tectonic forces likely drove this swarm—Pakistan sits on the volatile boundary of the Indian and Eurasian plates—the timing and location fueled speculation of a radiation leak from damaged nuclear facilities. The table below captures these seismic events, highlighting those near nuclear sites in bold.

Table 4: Earthquake Activity in Pakistan (April 29–May 22, 2025)

Date	Magnitude	Location	Proximity to Nuclear Site	Notes
April 29	3.2	PoK (near Muzaffarabad)	None	PoK’s seismic history
May 1	3.5	Punjab (near Sargodha)	Kirana Hills	Speculative nuclear link
May 5	4.2	Punjab (near Sargodha)	Kirana Hills	Possible radiation leak
May 7	3.9	Punjab (near Sargodha)	Kirana Hills	Continued activity
May 10	5.7	Hindu Kush	None	Largest quake
May 11	3.8	Punjab (near Sargodha)	Kirana Hills	Aftershock, nuclear concern
May 12	4.6	Balochistan (near Khuzdar)	Khuzdar (suspected storage)	Suspected nuclear site
May 15	3.6	Gilgit-Baltistan	None	Swarm activity

These quakes weren’t just natural phenomena—they were a wake-up call. I think of the 2005 Kashmir earthquake, which killed over 87,000 people and left millions homeless. If a similar disaster were to strike a nuclear site like Kirana Hills, the consequences would be catastrophic—radiation leaks, environmental devastation, and a humanitarian crisis of unprecedented scale. Operation Sindoor-2 didn’t just target Pakistan’s military capabilities; it exposed the fragility of their nuclear infrastructure, stripping bare the myth of invincibility they’ve clung to for decades.

To understand how Pakistan manages its nuclear arsenal, let’s examine its command structure—a tightly controlled hierarchy designed to ensure operational readiness, but one that may have faltered under the pressure of Operation Sindoor-2.

The SPD oversees Strategic Force Commands (SFC)—Army, Air Force, and Navy SFCs, each led by senior officers.]

Section 3: The Expanded Indian Subcontinent—A Tapestry Woven with History

The nuclear drama of 2025 unfolds against a broader canvas—the Expanded Indian Subcontinent, a historical and cultural continuum that links India, Pakistan, Southeast Asia, and Tibet. This region, shaped by ancient trade routes like the Maritime Silk Road and the spread of Indian cultural elements such as Hinduism and Buddhism, positions the Indian subcontinent as a central node in a network that historically connected the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and beyond. As a Sanatani Hindu, I feel a deep connection to this legacy—a reminder of our shared heritage and the responsibility it places on us to preserve peace.

At the heart of this narrative lies the legacy of Maharaja Hari Singh, the last ruler of Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, and Tibet. His 1947 Instrument of Accession united the Ryasat with India amidst an invasion by tribal forces and the Pakistan Army. Official records, including postal stamps and revenue documents from Srinagar and Jammu archives, addressed him as “Maharaja Hari Singh of the Ryasat of Jammu, Kashmir, Ladakh, and Tibet”—a title that reflected the Dogra dynasty’s influence, from the 1834 conquest of Ladakh to the 1842 Treaty of Chushul with Tibet. This historical claim underscores the region’s interconnectedness, amplifying the stakes of nuclear stability.

I recall visiting Srinagar in 2018, standing by the Dal Lake, where an elderly Kashmiri man shared stories of the Dogra rulers. “Maharaja Hari Singh was a visionary,” he said, his eyes gleaming with pride. “He knew the value of unity.” That unity is what we must strive for today, especially in a region where nuclear tensions threaten to unravel centuries of shared history. The Katha Upanishad offers a timeless lesson here:

“The wise one chooses the path of joy; the fool takes the path of pleasure.”

Hari Singh chose joy—lasting unity over fleeting power, a lesson for today’s nuclear powers. Tibet, a flashpoint in India-China relations since the Dalai Lama’s 1959 asylum, adds another layer of complexity. India’s decision to grant asylum to the Dalai Lama strained ties with China, positioning Tibet as a conduit for intelligence on Chinese activities. I remember a debate on TRT in 2020 where I argued that India’s support for the Dalai Lama was a moral stand, rooted in our Sanatani values of compassion and justice. That stand continues to shape India’s nuclear strategy, with missiles like the Agni-V designed to deter both Pakistan and China.

Southeast Asia, too, plays a role in this expanded framework. The region, once part of the Indosphere, retains cultural echoes of its Indian past in temples like Angkor Wat in Cambodia and Borobudur in Indonesia. I studied Angkor Wat in 2019, marveling at the intricate carvings of Hindu deities—a testament to the deep cultural ties that bind us. But today, Southeast Asia has shifted toward the Sinosphere, with China’s influence growing through initiatives like the Belt and Road. This shift makes the nuclear dynamics of South Asia even more critical, as any escalation here could ripple across this continuum, affecting not just the subcontinent but also Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, where historical trade routes once carried goods, ideas, and now, the shadow of nuclear risk.

Operation Sindoor-2 didn’t just expose Pakistan’s nuclear vulnerabilities—it highlighted the interconnectedness of our region. A nuclear conflict here would have global repercussions, disrupting trade routes, destabilizing economies, and threatening the cultural heritage that defines us. As a Sanatani Hindu, I believe we must honor this heritage by choosing peace over conflict, unity over division. The stakes are too high for anything less.

Section 4: Spiritual Reflections—Wisdom to Heal a Fractured Region

In a region where nuclear warheads cast long and ominous shadows, Sanatan Dharma and Sikhism offer timeless wisdom to guide us toward peace. As a Sanatani Hindu, I find solace in the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita, which Lord Krishna imparted to Arjuna on the battlefield of Kurukshetra—a battlefield not unlike the one India and Pakistan face today. The Gita teaches us:

“Perform your duty equipoised, O Arjuna, abandoning all attachment to success or failure.”

Image 5 Description: An image of a Hindu temple at dawn, symbolizing dharma’s light.

Pakistan’s nuclear check must be backed by dharma—protecting life, not destroying it. This verse resonates deeply with me as a Sanatani Hindu. I recall a moment during a meditation retreat in Rishikesh in 2022, where I sat by the Ganges, the river’s gentle flow a stark contrast to the turmoil in my mind. I was grappling with the rising tensions between India and Pakistan, especially after a series of border skirmishes. In that stillness, I realized that true power lies in intention, not destruction. Pakistan’s arsenal, tested amid quakes, risks becoming a cheque that bounces if mishandled. India’s actions in Operation Sindoor-2 were a fulfillment of dharma—a duty to protect millions from the specter of nuclear devastation.

The Mundaka Upanishad adds another layer of wisdom, one that speaks to the heart of this crisis:

“Truth alone triumphs.”

This truth demands accountability in nuclear stewardship, especially in a seismically active region where the earth itself seems to warn us of the consequences. Pakistan’s nuclear sites, from Kirana Hills to Khuzdar, are located in a land where the Indian and Eurasian plates collide with unrelenting force. The Sanatan Dharma principle of Ahimsa—non-violence—urges us to minimize harm, not just to each other but to the earth that sustains us. I think of the Chipko Movement in the 1970s, where Indian villagers hugged trees to protect them from deforestation—a powerful example of Ahimsa in action. If we can apply that same spirit to nuclear stewardship, we might yet avert disaster.

Sikhism, too, offers profound guidance. The Guru Granth Sahib, a beacon of wisdom for millions, reminds us:

“Truth is high, higher still is truthful living.”


Image 6 Description: An image of the Golden Temple at twilight, reflecting Sikh spirituality.

For Pakistan, truthful living means securing its arsenal not just against misuse but against nature’s fury. I visit the Golden Temple in Amritsar in regularly, and the serenity of that sacred place left a lasting impression on me. As I sat by the Sarovar, listening to the kirtan, I felt a deep sense of peace—a peace that seemed so distant in the context of India-Pakistan tensions. The teachings of Guru Nanak emphasize integrity and accountability, values that both nations must embrace if we are to navigate this nuclear age. Pakistan’s nuclear forces require the discipline of truthful living to honor their promise of security, not destruction. Not just to Bharat or the world, but also to the people who live in the land mass known as Pakistan. People inhabiting Pakistan and across its western borders, going towards the Middle East and Central Asia, would also be affected equally.

As a proud Sanatani, I believe in the secular ethos of my dharma—we don’t impose, but we defend. India’s actions in Operation Sindoor-2 were a defense of dharma, a duty to protect our people and our region from the specter of nuclear devastation. But defence alone isn’t enough. We must also seek dialogue, understanding, and a shared commitment to peace. I think of the 1947 Partition, a wound that still festers in the hearts of millions. My grandfather and his sons, who lived through that era, often spoke of the friendships they lost across the border—friendships that transcended religion and politics. My Taya ji, late Col B.S.Malik and my father, late H.R. Malik used to say, “Raman,” remember we were one people, divided by lines on a map for the greed of a few. But those very people whom we thought were part of us, became predators driven by religious fanaticism, hate, and greed.” His words remind me that beneath the rhetoric and the arsenals, there is a shared humanity that we must reclaim.

Operation Sindoor-2 stripped Pakistan’s nuclear ambitions bare, exposing vulnerabilities that the world can no longer ignore. But it also offers an opportunity—a chance to step back from the brink and choose a different path. As a Sanatani Hindu, I believe in the power of Karma—our actions shape our future. Let us act with wisdom, compassion, and a commitment to peace, ensuring that the cheque of power is never cashed.

Conclusion: A Plea for Peace in a Nuclear Age

Operation Sindoor-2 was a wake-up call—a stark reminder that nuclear power is a cheque that must never be cashed. The 2025 conflict, fuelled by Pakistan’s warhead tests and seismic risks, brought South Asia to the brink of a nuclear eventuality. Former U.S. President Trump’s words echo in my mind: “We stopped a (nuclear) conflict. I think it could have been a bad (nuclear) war. Millions of people could have been killed.” He wasn’t exaggerating—a single 100-kiloton detonation over Delhi or Karachi could kill 500,000 to 1 million people instantly, with millions more succumbing to radiation and fallout. A broader exchange involving 50–100 warheads could lead to tens of millions of deaths, regional climate disruption, and global famine, as studies by the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War estimate.

Yet, amidst this darkness, the wisdom of our traditions offers hope. Sanatan Dharma and Sikhism call us to choose truth, duty, and peace over destruction. As India and Pakistan navigate this tense landscape, let’s heed this call—nation first, dharma second, self last. I think of my children, future hanging in the balance, and I’m reminded of why this matters. We owe it to the next generation to build a world where they can thrive, not survive. Share your thoughts on social media with #OperationSindoor2, #NuclearCrisis, and #IndiaPakistanTensions—because the future of our region, and perhaps the world, depends on our collective resolve to seek peace, Even when we know we have the power, capability, knowledge and resources to evaporate an entire nation which Is known as Pakistan.
