More Saber Rattling Over Kashmir

The Daily Mail reports that "India hints it could use nuclear weapons FIRST in war with Pakistan as tensions flare over Kashmir and hundreds clash with police in disputed region."

     'Pokhran is the area which witnessed (Vajpayee's) firm resolve to make India a nuclear power and yet remain firmly committed to the doctrine of 'No First Use',' Singh wrote.

     'India has strictly adhered to this doctrine. What happens in future depends on the circumstances,' [Indian Defense Minister] Singh tweeted.

Also:

     Singh received support from Subramanian Swamy, a hardliner parliamentarian from Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).

      'Rajnath is correct as to warn about possible review of Vajpayee's no first use of n weapons since Pak leadership is more crazed today than in 1998,' he tweeted.

      'First use is required now on if we get credible evidence that Pak faced with ignominy may go for first strike. We must pre-empt that,' Swamy wrote.
