New Delhi: There was no ‘nuclear signalling‘ by Islamabad during the military conflict with Pakistan earlier this month, Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri told Parliament Monday evening. Mr Misri told the House’s Standing Committee on External Affairs the conflict remained “conventional” and that Islamabad’s use of Chinese-made weaponry – including the HQ-9 missile defence system – was irrelevant because “what matters is we hit their air bases hard…” However, he declined to comment on any Indian fighter jets that may have been shot down, citing national security constraints. There were reports Pak shot down five Indian jets. Concerns that nuclear facilities – for weapons or civil use – may be targeted, deliberately or inadvertently, were red-flagged during the conflict. Such concerns were also shouted out by Pakistan in an attempt to paint India as the aggressor and ‘blackmail’ the Indian armed forces into submission. These, however, were dismissed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Mr Modi had said India will not be intimidated by ‘nuclear blackmail’. “Any terrorist safe haven operating under this pretext will face precise …
