Pakistan on Thursday accused India of accumulating a stockpile of nuclear weapons and building a ‘secret nuclear city’, which the Foreign Office claimed threatens to undermine the strategic balance of power in South Asia.
In a weekly briefing, Foreign Office spokesman Nafees Zakaria said India has been testing inter-continental missiles. “Pakistan remains committed to the principles of peaceful existence with all of its neighbours, including India, and the Indian government should reciprocate the steps taken by Pakistan for peace,” he said.
The spokesman also said the LoC violations by Indian forces can threaten regional stability. A similar statement was issued by the Pakistani military on Wednesday after a Corps Commanders meeting to review the situation on the border.
