Pakistan's Nuclear Arsenal Deterred Indian Retaliation, Former General Says
Tuesday, March 10, 2009
Pakistan's nuclear arsenal deterred India from attacking extremist strongholds in Pakistani territory following the November terror strikes in Mumbai, said a former Indian army chief of staff (see GSN, Dec. 16, 2008).
"Do nuclear weapons deter? Of course, they do. Pakistan's nuclear weapons deterred India from attacking that country after the Mumbai strikes," retired Gen. Shankar Roychowdhury said.
Pakistan's nuclear weapons are secure for the time being, India's delegate to the international Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission said Saturday.
"By all indications, Pakistan's nuclear weapons are in safe hands and under tight control. But nobody can say what will happen if the system breaks down. There is concern in the West about whether the system in Pakistan can be sustained only through aid," said retired Lt. Gen. Vasantha Raghavan
(The Press Trust of India, March 9).
