Pakistan Minister Sheikh Rashid on Wednesday claimed there is no scope for conventional war if the country is attacked by India and will reply with nuclear weapons which "will save Muslim lives and will only target regions." In an interview to Pakistan-based Samaa TV on Wednesday, Federal Minister for Railways Sheikh Rashid Ahmad said Pakistan has "small" and "perfect" weapons. In 2019, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan spoke about nuclear war with India as tensions reached an all-time high following the abrogation of Article 370. Later in September 2019, Sheikh Rashid had claimed that his country possessed "125-250 gram atom bombs" that may hit a targeted area in India. "Pakistan has small 125-250 gram atom bombs which may hit a targeted area in India," Rashid was quoted as saying by Geo News at the time.
