Pakistan capable of
inflicting
unacceptable losses on India: Qadeer
ISLAMABAD, May 26 (APP) :World famed nuclear scientist Dr. Abdul Qadeer Khan on
Tuesday said, Pakistan is capable of inflicting unacceptable losses on India.
"Our nuclear bombs are so powerful that these can bring devastation to an extent
which can be unacceptable for the enemy," he told Editors of National Dailies
and senior journalists at a luncheon here Today.
He was responding to various queries whether Pakistan should sign or not, the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT). Qadeer said Pakistan did not want to enter
into an arms race in the region. He said after acquisition of nuclear technology and
making its defence invincible, Pakistan should now focus its attention on the
socio-economic development.
"We have told the Government that signing CTBT would not affect our nuclear programme
as it neither envisages inspection nor stops production of fissile material,"
he said.
However, he said, one thing was certain that the Prime Minister will never sign CTBT under
pressure.
