How did Pakistan assemble the nukes? How is it that Pakistan is the only country that has very little achievements in fundamental scientific research but has assembled the nuclear bombs to create the so-called “Islamic Nuke”? Why is it that Pakistan’s Space research program is nowhere but the nuke assembly lines are ready to Challenge the neighbor and the world? Which country has negligible space research and full-fledged nuke assembly workmanship? You got it right -Pakistan, Iran, North Korea …
The answer lies in what Indian External Affairs Minister Natwar Singh said: “ World superpowers allowed the supply sources of the illegal transfer of nuclear weapons and its technology in South Asia.”
For the same reason, Pakistan, Iran and North Korea has significant missiles but no capabilities to put a probe in the orbit.
Singh also said that superpowers are overly focused on finding the recipients of the "clandestine proliferation," instead of the suppliers. He added that the Nonproliferation Treaty would impose costs on India and hurt its security.
