NEW DELHI: Addressing international concerns, India on Monday categorically ruled out use of nuclear weapons against Pakistan saying as a responsible nation "it feels it will be imprudent to use such weapons."
A Defence Ministry statement said "the Government makes it clear that India does not believe in the use of nuclear weapons. Neither does it visualise that it will be used by any other country".
The Government was reacting to media reports about the possible use of nuclear weapons in the context of current India-Pakistan stand off.
