Islamabad struck after the Indian Minister of Defense said that the Pakistan nuclear arsenal is expected to be under surveillance of the United Nations.
India and Pakistan have exchanged charges of poor management of nuclear weapons, a few days after reaching a truce After four days of cross -border fighting.
The Indian Minister of Defense, Rajnath Singh, questioned the security of nuclear weapons in Pakistan Thursday in an army base in Srinagar, the cashmere administered by the Indians, describing the neighboring country of “irresponsible and thug”.
“I believe that Pakistan nuclear weapons should be taken under the supervision of the AIAA (International Atomic Energy Agency),” said Singh.
In response to the Minister’s comments, the Ministry of Pakistan Foreign Affairs said in a statement that Singh revealed “his insecurity and deep frustration concerning the effective defense and deterrence of Pakistan”.
“The comments of the Minister of Defense of India also show his pure ignorance of the mandate and the responsibilities of a specialized United Nations agency like the IAEA,” he said.
“If anything, the IAEA and the international community should be concerned about the repeated theft and illicit traffic incidents involving nuclear and radioactive materials in India,” the statement added.
The United Nations nuclear custody monitors countries with nuclear weapons to ensure that they are peaceful.
Under a 2008 agreement, the IAEA monitors several Indian civilian nuclear installations.
“Nuclear blackmail”
After carrying out nuclear tests in Tit-For-Tat in 1998, India and Pakistan became nuclear powers, making the region one of the dangerous nuclear flash points in the world.
Last week, the two countries exchanged intense missile and drone attacks, killing nearly 70 people.
The fighting followed a rebellious attack on April 22 against Pahalgam, the cashmere administered by the Indians, which New Delhi blamed in Pakistan – an accusation that Islamabad refused.
On Saturday, the President of the United States, Donald Trump, announced a surprise cease-fire agreement when the world powers urged the two nuclear powers to avoid climbing tensions.
While the ceasefire is currently held, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Monday that India would again strike militant hiding places on the other side of the border if there were new attacks against India and would not be dissuaded by what he called the “nuclear blackmail” of Islamabad.
However, Pakistan rejected Modi’s declarations as “provocative and inflammatory statements”, saying that they represent a dangerous escalation.
Meanwhile on Thursday, the cashmere police administered by the Indians said they had killed three alleged fighters in the city of Tral, in the Pulwama district south of Srinagar.
Police also said that three other alleged fighters died on Tuesday in a firearm battle with soldiers in the southern valley.
