It was reported in
leading newspapers of Pakistan that the White House, Republican frontrunner
Donald Trump stated: "I think you have to stay in Afghanistan for a
while, because of the fact that you are right next to Pakistan, which has
nuclear weapons and we have to protect that.” Mr. Donald Trump seems
ignorant about Pakistan's nuclear program's safety and security arrangement.
Hence, he is making such statements.
Importantly, the
anti-Pakistan nuclear program lobby, especially in the aftermath of September
11, 2001, has been frequently pronouncing detrimental judgments against the
safety and security of the program in both print and electronic media. Its
primary objective is to persuade the international community about the
inability of the Pakistani nuclear establishment to protect its nuclear
infrastructure from the transnational terrorist groups. Instead of critically
examining the safety and security apparatus of country’s nuclear facilities,
nuclear arsenal and nuclear related institutional arrangements for the sake of
objective analysis; the anti-Pakistan lobby is merely relying on the baseless
concocted stories and fictitious hypothesis.
Without realizing that
a nation which develops its indigenous nuclear fuel cycle and successfully
manufacture and test nuclear weapons is capable enough to secure its nuclear
facilities and arsenal from terrorist groups’ attacks as well as from external
powers incursions into the country’s nuclear weapons locations. Though this
subjective maligning campaign has failed to cap the progressive trajectory of
Pakistan’s nuclear program, yet it has fashioned negative caveats about the
country’s nuclear infrastructures’ safety and security.
A nation which develops its indigenous nuclear fuel cycle
and successfully manufacture and test nuclear weapons is capable enough to
secure its nuclear facilities and arsenal from terrorist groups’ attacks as
well as from external powers incursions into the country’s nuclear weapons locations"
