- No immediate nuclear tests, says Fernandes The Times of India Saturday 21 March 1998 - NEW DELHI: Ruling out any immediate nuclear tests, newly sworn in defence minister George Fernandes on Friday said the induction of nuclear weapons as also further testing of the Agni intermediate range missile was subject to a strategic defence review (SDR) to be undertaken by a soon-to-be established National Security Council (NSC). However, he said it was difficult to set a time frame for establishing the NSC and on carrying out the SDR.

- BJP's n-option `threat' disturbs Pakistan The Hindu 20 March 1998 - Pakistan on Thursday said that the BJP's stated objective of inducting nuclear weapons into the Indian arsenal was a ``dangerous development.'' It multiplied manifold the threat to Islamabad's security and could lead to a review of its own nuclear policy ``should the need arise.''
- `N-weapon induction, if necessary' The Hindu 19 March 1998 - The Prime
Minister designate, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee said that there was ``no time frame'' to induct
atomic weapons. ``The option (to induct nuclear weapons) will be exercised if need be,'' he observed. ``To ensure the security, territorial integrity and unity of India we will take all necessary steps and exercise all available options. Towards that end we will re-evaluate the nuclear policy and exercise the option to induct nuclear weapons'', the text of the document on ``National Security'' said. Unlike the BJP manifesto released on February 3, the national agenda does not make any reference to the development of the Agni missiles.
