Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal should be under the surveillance of the UN’s nuclear watchdog, Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh said Thursday, following a four-day conflict between Islamabad and New Delhi last week.<\/p>\n
Pakistan did not immediately respond to Singh’s comments, which came as the nuclear-armed rivals ended their worst military conflict in nearly three decades with a ceasefire announcement on Saturday, AFP said.<\/p>\n
“I wanted to raise this question for the world: are nuclear weapons safe in the hands of a rogue and irresponsible nation?” Singh told troops at a base in Srinagar in Indian-administered Kashmir.<\/p>\n
“I believe that Pakistan’s atomic weapons should be brought under the surveillance of the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency),” Singh added.<\/p>\n
The latest conflict between India and Pakistan had sparked global concerns that it could spiral into a full-blown war.<\/p>\n
Fighting began when India launched strikes on May 7 against what it said were “terrorist camps” in Pakistan following an April attack in Indian-administered Kashmir in which 26 people were killed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
