Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar on Thursday dismissed any death-threat from the Islamic State (IS) to his or Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s life saying “it was issued on a 50 paise postcard”. A postcard, claimed to have been sent by the IS, was received last week at the Goa Secretariat, threatening to kill Parrikar and PM Modi.
Pak nuclear warheads aim to deter India: Report
Pakistan’s estimated 110-130 nuclear warheads are aimed at deterring India from taking military action against it, a report of USA’s Congressional Research Service said.

Reports of the CRS, however, are not considered as the official view of the US government.
