India sensitized Russia about fears regarding Pak nukes safety | India sensitized Russia about its fears on the safety of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. Briefing reporters
onboard the Prime Minister's special aircraft, Foreign Secretary Nirupama Rao
said: "We have on many occasions spoken and expressed our hope and expectation
that Pakistan will continue to safeguard its nuclear assets in manner that it
poses threat to our region. The Russian side is also sensitized on this issue."
In the wake of a recent attempted strike on the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex
near Kamra where it is believed some of Pakistan's nuclear assets are kept, India
had expressed concerns over the safety of Pakistan's nuclear assets. Pakistan
and the US, however, said there was no threat to the nuclear arsenal and that
Pakistan's security forces were well equipped to secure the safety of the country's
nuclear bombs. Pakistan's track record of illegal non proliferation by A. Q. Khan
and its endorsement of a nuclear bomb as an Islamic bomb by terrorist groups are
causing flutter in both New Delhi and Moscow. |
