Washington:Whenever there is a threat of a nuclear attack in the world, the scene of Hiroshima-Nagasaki floats in front of the eyes of many. The atomic bomb turned these two cities into death valleys. Just like Hiroshima-Nagasaki, the situation may have been of India! Former US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has claimed that the then Indian External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj had told him that Pakistan had planned a nuclear attack against India after the Balakot surgical strikes in February 2019. According to Pompeo, Sushma Swaraj said india was also preparing to give an aggressive response in view of such preparations by Pakistan.
In his recently released new book Never Give An Inch: Fighting for the America Eye Love, Pompeo said he came to know about this during a visit to Hanoi for the US-North Korea summit on February 27-28. It was then under his leadership that the US representative sat overnight with India and Pakistan to prevent the crisis.
