The Minister of State for External Affairs, Shri Rao Inderjit Singh, in a written reply to a question by Sh. Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Sh. Niitsh Kumar and Sh. Ramji Lal Suman said that it is well known that for more than three decades, Pakistan has actively pursued a clandestine nuclear weapons programme. The problem of clandestine acquisition of nuclear weapons technologies by Pakistan is a matter of deep concern. In its interactions with key interlocutors, including the US, India has consistently shared its concerns regarding the adverse effect of such developments on India’s security. The Government carefully monitors all such developments which have a bearing on our security and is committed to taking all necessary steps to safeguard the nation’s security, he added.
