India's pursuit of military preponderance in region challenge for Pak: General Majid | Pakistan Joint Chiefs of Staff Committee (JCSC) Chairman General Tariq Majid has asked the international community
to realize the internal and external challenges that his country faces. "We have to be mindful of the blatant pursuit of military preponderance in our neighbourhood,"
The Daily Times quoted Majid, as saying. General Majid further said that retention
of nuclear capability as a credible deterrent against a possible aggression was
a compulsion, and not a choice for Pakistan . He also said that as a responsible
nuclear weapon state and despite being a non-NPT country, Pakistan has always
supported non-proliferation efforts, and its position on disarmament issues has
remained consistent and pragmatic. "We demand our rightful place as a nuclear
weapon state and reject discriminatory policies," General Majid said. He also
expressed his views on recurring concerns on safety and security of Pakistan 's
nuclear weapons and materials. "We are shouldering our responsibility with utmost
vigilance and confidence. We have put in place a very robust regime that includes
multi-layered mechanisms and processes to secure our strategic assets, and have
provided maximum transparency on our practices," General Majid said. |
