India’s neighboring country Pakistan alleged that India was developing atomic submarines. Pakistan also said that it is maintaining minimum deterrence while India was developing atomic stockpile day by day, which can be dangerous for world.
According to the Radio Pakistan, the Pakistan’s Foreign Affairs Additional Secretary Tasnim Aslam alleged that India was developing atomic submarines.
While addressing a seminar in Islamabad, Aslam claimed that India was building its atomic stockpile “day by day.” She also said, “In these circumstances, Pakistan has no option but to keep itself ready for defence,” and added that Pakistan was maintaining minimum deterrence.
Aslam also said the Indian leadership's "irresponsible statements" pose a threat to regional peace.
Tasnim warned that the regional balance of power would be disrupted if India was granted membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group.
She alleged that the Indian government has been found involved in terror activities, although India accuses Pakistan of terrorism by means of non-state elements.
The Foreign Affairs functionary emphasised that Pakistan's participation in Amritsar's Heart of Asia Conference was a manifestation of its commitment to Afghan peace and stability and its decision to participate in the conference had also foiled an Indian attempt to ‘hijack’ the process.
The Foreign Office spokesman of Pakistan Nafees Zakaria said “dialogue should not be just for the sake of dialogue,” rather it should be sustainable and result oriented.
Earlier, the Foreign Office said Pakistan wanted “result-oriented, sustainable” dialogue with India and welcomed mediation by the international community on Kashmir.
