Pak nukes are in safe hands: India

GAUHATI: Indian Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh said on Sunday he believed Pakistan’s nuclear assets were in safe hands. “We have been assured that their nuclear assets are in safe hands and I do not want to disbelieve that assurance,” he told reporters in Guwahati when asked if the Taliban could misuse Pakistan’s nuclear assets and pose a threat to India. Sectarianism was the greatest threat to Pakistan, he added. Addressing an election rally, Singh also rejected Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad’s charge that Congress was to blame for the Babri Masjid incident, saying the party “can’t be blamed” for the mosque’s demolition in 1992. online

I hope that means that the nukes are in "America's hands"

I'm disappointed that our Prime Minister is saying that, knowing well enough how close Pakistan is to complete Talibanization.

I think so Pyro i think the "Ball" is in america's Hand

Just another disappointment amongst many... we should've gotten used to it by now...

Seems like you want the PM to say what you want to hear.

Hmmm, check the bolded sentence. It seems like our PM is trying to beleive, but doesnt actually beleive!

When it comes to beleifs, either you beleive or you don't.

i don't believe it, china can always proliferate some more nukes if pakistan is out.

With Talibs running wild all over the pakistan, without any one checking them, i dont think MMS should have given the certificate to Pakistan...............

Security implications is only for India and not for any one else, as those nukes are ment for India and if some thing wrong happens they will be launched at no one but India......

Therefore PM should have be more careful in saying these things in Public, more so when reports are comming every day about the internal instablility of Pakistan.

Who so ever has given the assurance about the nukes in the hands of only muslim country as the Paksitani want to call, is nothing but false assurance, made without any iota of truth in it, simply to carm public, nothing else.

Pakistani nukes are Islamic nukes to be shared with all islamic nations, I would bet atleast half a dozen other countries secretly have nukes because of pakistan.

I am sure PM has had some basis to say this. Else there was no need for him to comment on the matter.

There have been speculations that immediately after 9/11, USA gave Pakistan an ultimatum to hand over the nuke control to them or else...

May be this is what the PM has been assured about!

There is overwhelming but under reported evidence that Pakistan's Nukes are under effective control of Americans. They have installed PALs on their nukes and every move made by PA with these nukes is observed. I'm sure this is what PM might have been informed about and so the consequent statement.

What's a PAL daredevil ???
