Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh today underscored that India reserves the right to change its policy of 'No First Use', which has been the cornerstone of India's nuclear weapons policy for decades. The government firmly stands by its 'No First Use' policy but "what happens in future will depend on the circumstances," the minister said at Pokhran in Rajasthan. The statement comes a day after the PM announced the creation of the post of Chief of Defence Staff. On The Big Fight, we discuss the consequences of making such statements in the current environment.
