Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti retorted to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's "nuclear button" comment saying if India's nuclear bombs are not saved for Diwali, Pakistan hasn't "kept theirs for Eid either".

"If India hasn't kept nuclear bomb for Diwali, it's obvious Pakistan's not kept theirs for Eid either. Don't know why Prime Minister Modi must stoop so low and reduce political discourse to this," Mufti tweeted on Monday.
