Loose talk, says India

New Delhi May 30. Sharply reacting to Pakistan's threat to use nuclear weapons in the event of a war, India today said this was yet another ``manifestation of loose talk'' and stepped up its diplomatic offensive against Islamabad stating its position on the current situation on the border.

Responding to the remarks of the Pakistan Ambassador to United Nations, Munir Akram, that Islamabad had never subscribed to the no-first use of nuclear weapons, the External Affairs Ministry spokesperson, Nirupama Rao, said ``this is yet another manifestation of loose talk and irresponsible statements emanating from Pakistan.'' _ PTI
