New Delhi : Expressing concern over reports of Pak increasing Nuke warheads, India Friday asked International Community to ensure that Pakistan reduces its nuclear arsenal.
A United States Congressional Research Service (CRS) report released on Wednesday has estimated that Pakistan has 60 nuclear warheads.
The report says that Pakistan continues fissile material production for weapons, and is adding to its weapons production facilities every day.
“Pakistan’s attempts to increase number of its nuclear weapons is a matter of serious concern”, said Indian Army Chief, General Deepak Kapoor (pictured) on the sidelines of the function in New Delhi.
“If the media reports are to be believed, I am told the the number (of Pakistani nuclear weapons) is limited to 60, it is increasing. So definitely, that is matter for concern.”
“Even if Pakistan is looking at deterrence, they require a minimum amount. But when you keep increasing it, it is a matter of concern…I think the world community should put the kind of pressure, which is required for Pakistan to cap their nuclear weapons,” he said.
The Army Chief assured that India had its systems in place to take care of its security needs against the backdrop of developments taking place in Islamabad.
