It depends on who you believe whether it's a daft idea or not.
The top elected official in Indian Kashmir on Wednesday described a public advisory telling residents to prepare for nuclear war by building basement shelters as a "daft idea". The State Disaster Response Force in a notice this week urged people to build shelters to prepare for a potential nuclear conflict in the disputed region, which has been on edge after deadly border clashes between Indian and Pakistani troops.

They have gone to the trouble of building atomic bombs which means they can envisage that they might need to use them and do intend to use them. Sometimes "top elected officials" are not the most trustworthy people to believe. Especially when what they say doesn't match their actions.

If said top elected official said "We have disassembled all nukes and so has Pakistan" then they would have better credibility regarding nuclear war. And more so if the public could inspect the disassembly process.

I don't think a top official statement proves your point really.
