India has issued first statement on President Donald Trump's claim that Pakistan is testing nuclear weapons in its territory. At a media briefing, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, 'Clandestine and illegal nuclear activities are in keeping with Pakistan’s history, that is centered around decades of smuggling, export control violations, secret partnerships, AQ Khan network and further proliferation.'
Jaiswal said that India has taken note of US President Donald Trump's remarks about Pakistan conducting nuclear testing. 'India has always drawn the attention of the international community to these aspects of Pakistan’s record. In this backdrop, we have taken note of President Trump’s comment about Pakistan’s nuclear testing,' he added.
Earlier, Donald Trump made a shocking revelation that China, Pakistan are among the countries that are testing nuclear weapons. He stated that the US, like other nations, will test nuclear weapons and stressed that the move was necessary as several nations, including Russia, China, North Korea, and Pakistan, are carrying out nuclear tests.
"Russia's testing, and China's testing, but they don't talk about it. You know, we're an open society. We're different. We talk about it. We have to talk about it, because otherwise you people are gonna report, they don't have reporters that are gonna be writing about it. We do. No, we're gonna test, because they test and others test. And certainly North Korea's been testing. Pakistan's been testing," President Trump said.
