Nukes on the subcontinent; eventually lead to trouble?

When you don't have nukes, you don't have these problems:
Islamabad says should war break out with New Delhi, the option of using nuclear weapons would not even be on the table in Pakistan.
Pakistani Defense Minister Chaudhary Ahmed Mukhtar said on Monday that Islamabad wants peace with India but would defend itself if New Delhi thrusts war.
'The Indians would never want war because if war breaks out, then God forbid the situation might develop into a nuclear war,' Mukhtar claimed.
The minister was reacting in response to Indian threats to wage war if the soil of neighboring Pakistan is used for promoting terrorism in India.
On Sunday, Indian Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi said New Delhi is capable of giving a 'befitting reply' to those using Pakistani soil to promote terrorism in her country.
