3. In 1999, Pakistani officials described the nuclear threshold as a threat to the existence of the Pakistani state when an Indian attack would (1) inflict a major defeat on Pakistani military (2) occupy or threaten to occupy Pakistan's vital urban, population, and economic centres or communication nodes. In January 2002, Khalid Kidwai said Pakistan could resort to a nuclear response if India conquered a large part of its territory, destroyed a large part of its forces, or caused economic strangling, political destabilization, or large-scale internal subversion.
