Pakistan nuclear weapons plan was always India-centric, says 'secret' 1980 US cable

IndiaTimes Thursday, 7 December 2023
Pakistan's nuclear weapons programme has always been India-centric and focused on assuring that it will not suffer any strategic disadvantage. A 1980 cable released by the American embassy in Islamabad to the state department reveals that the US government is not optimistic about resolving the conflict over nuclear issues with Pakistan. The cable highlights the narrowness of local attitudes towards the proliferation hazards of sensitive nuclear technology.

Priyanka Gandhi slams PM Modi for calling Rahul Gandhi 'Shehzada', calls him 'Shahenshah' | Oneindia

In a scathing critique of previous Congress administrations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi lambasted their approach to dealing with Pakistan's terrorism. Modi likened their efforts to sending "love letters" to Pakistan in a bid for peace, only to witness a surge in terrorist activities as a result. His remarks underscored the need for a more assertive stance against terrorism, emphasising the imperative of safeguarding national security. Furthermore, Modi alleged that Pakistani leaders are actively advocating for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to ascend to India's prime ministership post-election. However, Modi firmly asserted that India, in its pursuit of strength and security, unequivocally demands a resilient and steadfast government. #PriyankaGandhi #PMModi #RahulGandhi #Shehzada #Shahenshah #PoliticalCriticism #IndianPolitics #LeadershipDebate #PoliticalRhetoric #ElectionDynamics #LokSabhaElections #LokSabhaPolls #Elections2024 #LokSabhaElections2024 #LSPolls2024 ~HT.178~PR.152~ED.194~GR.121~
