WASHINGTON: Pakistan reminded the international community on Saturday that it did not introduce nuclear weapons to South Asia, India did.
In a statement issued here, Pakistan Embassy rejected suggestions by the US media that Pakistan was “irresponsibly building its nuclear arsenal”.
“Pakistan was not the first to introduce nuclear weapons in South Asia, India was,” the statement said.
It also referred to recent reports, which confirmed that India continued to grow its nuclear programme by testing missiles with longer ranges.
India was also working on fissile material production facilities, and investing in a nuclear triad that inevitably requires a larger nuclear arsenal, the embassy said.

“India also propounds war-fighting doctrines while being ascendant as one of the world’s largest importers of military hardware. A special waiver for India for nuclear trade is another destabilising step,” it said.
It reminded the international community that Pakistan had for decades offered proposals to India for nuclear restraint, including a strategic restraint regime.
As late as September, Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif made fresh proposals for peace in his speech at the United Nations.
However, India has refused to engage. “Peace can be better served by focusing the world’s attention on India’s lack of constructive response to Pakistan’s proposals, its investment in destabilising technologies and its aggressive posturing,” said embassy spokesman Nadeem Hotiana.

USA media is one sided and always maligns Pakistan, previously on terrorism and now on nuclear. There is nothing new.
Many times a question is asked; why Pakistanis hate Americans. The answer is because of biased attitude towards Pakistan. While we have always supported USA, by even jeopardising our own security, Americans clearly tell us they watch their interest. Then why shouldn't Pakistan!!! What is American problem? Why do not they want to see Pakistan strong? No body listens to America except Pakistan, examples are North Korea, India, China; they why should Pakistan?

Very sensible comments by all here. I think India had it due to China. Not for a second can I imagine India's nuclear power was keeping in mind Pakistan.
Since India got its own nuke it was logical that Pakistan would want it since both nations have a troubled history.
But India was forced to develop nukes keeping China in mind and never Pak.
China obviously has Russia as inspiration. And Russia would want it for US has it.
Now how to de nuclearise is a serious issue.
No nation can nuke any other in todays world.
Humanity can never afford. Imagine US or Russia nuking each other. Can they? Can China nuke India? Never. Can India nuke Pak.. Never. Can Pak nuke India....Never.
I can't imagine those things being even being discussed.
Our modern civilization will be nailed if such a thing were to happen. If conventional war bought in an avalanche of refugees what would a nuke attack bring in.
Get rid of them. Nations and ego and one upmanship can never happen at cost of humanity.

@Ashish Chaudhary we do not follow as a matter of copying India. You are probably too young to even understand.
Pakistan started with zero on August 14th 1947. Actually with less than zero. When the first PM wanted to issue an edict there was neither pen or paper on his desk. He gave some kid a rupee from his own pocket to run to the bazaar and buy notepad and pen.
India was supposed to turn over resources for the country to get started, but either they delayed or when the equipment arrived it was damaged.
So if we manufacture a pencil we are not copying you, you are not some demi god that we follow.
Your IT sector is mostly servicing American businesses, we know pitfalls of serving the Americans.

@Harmony-1 I REPEAT :" We don't care". Indian program is directed primarily at the Chinese and is an attempt to close the gap between that exists.
The ONE AND ONLY Pakistan that is useful to India ( as India is useful to the rest of the world) is a Pakistan that is economically vibrant and shares investment and trade links with India.
However much one huffs and puffs about the Indian program, India will pursue it. The geopolitical scenario is such that, India is WANTED by the rest of the world as a counter balance to ever-increasing Chinese economic and military clout?
The Chinese did a deal for about $60 billion with the UK, compared to about $12.5 India did, and the Chinese media was complaining loudly that it wishes to be compared to the US and not with India.
That is quite understandable? India, similarly, does not want to hyphenate with Pakistan, as the countries' standings are very different?

''India introduced nukes to S. Asia: Pakistan''
You are 100 percent right. I am scared they may end with it. Because If they can not maintain it properly disaster can occur any time

We are proud to have a strong defensive nuc technology. This is the fundamental requirement of our national security. We are also proud to have the most reliable and fool proof nuclear safety and security procedures at par with the reliable and highly accurate nuclear capable missile technology. If some one is to be blamed for building nucs in S. Asia then it's india not Pakistan. We shall keep building tactical low yield nuclear weapons as these are the guarantee of our defence in the event of future war. Let it be known to the world that We shall NOT compromise on the issues of national security.

History is incorrect. China was first to bring nuclear weapons. Why give pass to China

@Human It is semantics. India need to protect against China. Pakistan has to protect against India. So it is better to point to China. At least China and India have no first use policy.

Sir: True. India did indeed introduce nukes in S. Asia. But one must go beyond the fact. China built a nuclear arsenal much earlier and has shown no willingness whatsoever to solve the long festering boundary question. In other words India must accept the border line claimed by China. In its boundary disputes with several other countries too China is dictating the border. If China had shown a spirit of mutual accommodation which India willing to accept and settled the boundary issue, India may not have needed nuclear weapons. China does not want to settle the border issue in order to keep India on the edge. Then it will have nothing to whip India with.
