Pakistan Confident in Nuclear Security Regime Amid Criticism

Islamabad: Pakistan’s Foreign Office has expressed unwavering confidence in the nation’s nuclear security regime and the robustness of its command and control structures. This statement was made in response to recent remarks by former US National Security Advisor John Bolton, who commented on a statement by Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh regarding Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities.

According to Radio Pakistan, the Foreign Office Spokesperson, Shafqat Ali Khan, addressed these remarks, highlighting the irony in Bolton’s comments. He pointed out that Bolton’s concerns stem from a statement made by Rajnath Singh, a leader associated with a Hindu extremist organization known for its aggressive posturing towards Pakistan.

Khan further emphasized that the international community should be more concerned about India’s nuclear arsenal, especially given that it is under the control of individuals like Rajnath Singh, who have a documented history of hostility towards Pakistan and its Muslim population. The Spokesperson’s remarks underscore Pakistan’s stance on maintaining a secure and responsible nuclear program while pointing out perceived threats from its neighbor.
