I see people here are getting worried about this topic more than they should be.
Let me remind some people here that there is nothing like a deal, France gas only given a green signal for this type of technology, and anyway this is simply civil technology, as Pakistan need's nuclear power to meet its energy needs which grow 8% on average yearly.
Both India, and Pakistan have not signed NPT, so France has made itself very clear, if they could sell the technology to India for its energy purposes, so why not Pakistan, beside they only have one issue with providing us with the civil-nuclear technology and that is the safety of it (French technology), so my fellow Indian member's please do think that Governments of Nation's who supply this technology have appropriate measures in place to monitor it even after its sale, it's like an after sales service for your car.
As far as the US, IAEA and other Nuclear powers are concerned, it is our FO job to take action regarding their concerns and see to it that they are dealt with appropriately.
Some member's also talked about, this being a reply to India's signing of nuclear agreement with US in the beginning of this year, for God's sake please think for a while this is no joke, every Country has a right to fulfill its population's needs, India has done it by buying the technology from the concerned Countries, so now we have seen an opportunity to exercise our right and we have done it, and I am very proud of it.
Now, also let me make clear something here, Dr. A Q Khan, is the father of our Nuclear ability, Pakistani people will die to defend his life, please before blaming him of leaking out Nuclear secrets, please recall that "HE" told the whole world that he was forced to confess by General retired Pervaiz Musharaf's Government, that he leaked nuclear secrets to Libya, Iran and North Korea.
Also, I hope people will not see this development as a reply to Indian one, beside we as Pakistani's are happy for India's achievement, they deserve it, now being a Nation, we have our right to try our luck, and we have tried it, and till now we have had no problem with it, and I wish people will be happy on this development because this will only help Pakistan's own civilians and economy.
