Pakistan raps Japan's 'discriminatory' nuclear deal with India: Nafees Zakaria

Zakaria, in an interview with a Japanese News Agency urged Japan and other countries "to objectively assess the consequences of discriminatory approaches to our region."

Pakistan, he said, considers that the exemption granted to India by the Vienna-based Nuclear Suppliers Group, effectively allowing the South Asian country to expand its nuclear power industry, "has negatively impacted the strategic balance in the region."

"It has allowed India to gain access to foreign sources of nuclear fuel and freed up its domestic reserves which are being utilised for rapid expansion of its military nuclear program," he said, adding, "We have taken up the issue with the Japanese side."

Pakistan has sought similar treatment ever since 2008 when the NSG, a group of nuclear supplier countries that seek to prevent nuclear proliferation by controlling the export of materials, equipment and technology that could be used to manufacture nuclear weapons, exempted India from its rule prohibiting supply technology to countries that have not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

Neither Pakistan nor India, which have gone to war with each other three times since their 1947 split and have both tested nuclear weapons, have signed the NPT.

Under the civilian nuclear cooperation pact inked in Tokyo, which paves the way for Japan to export nuclear materials or technology to India, the latter is required to use them for peaceful purposes only, and not for research or development of any sort of nuclear explosive device.

Under the pact, India will be allowed to reprocess nuclear materials and byproducts supplied or produced, but cannot make highly enriched uranium, which potentially could be used in the production of nuclear weapons, without Japan's consent.

Tokyo can halt its nuclear cooperation if New Delhi breaches its 2008 commitment to a moratorium on nuclear testing.

India has already signed such nuclear deals with France, Russia and the United States, among other countries.

Zakaria said, all the NSG countries including the United States - which backs India's membership in the 48-member body but not that of Pakistan - should adopt objective, non-discriminatory criteria "which are not only promoting non-proliferation objectives but they promote strategic stability in South Asia."

Mr.Zakaria should be reminded that it was Pakistan that was caught proliferating to rogues like Libya and N.Korea.

Mr Zakaria is incorrect. The rise of India promotes strategic stability in South Asia.

No worries at all. Pakistan's already nuclear stockpile is sufficient to keep India in check where as NK's nuclear weapons will suffice for Japan. BTW this makes Japan look nothing less than a full blown hypocrite state........Beating drums around the world about "Nuclear arms are bad, we are the victims" and then directly aiding their production in an other country under false pretenses.

Pakistan should stop this attitude..if India gets something, Pakistan should get it too. Instead Pakistan should lobby and work hard to get things done for itself. There is no such thing as free lunch in international geopolitics.

Was about to say the same thing. No worries for us. Our nuclear cooperation with China is going to intensify. We are going to make sure that we are not left behind in this nuclear race. More nuke reactors is the way forward.

Don't worry plans are already in place to finish off both Pakistan and North Korea (India & US along with Israel are working on it). There will be no Pakistan in 2017, as already said Indian defense secretariat no 70th Independence day for Pakistan.

LOL did Modi make that promise to you? LOL at the big plan... So, it will require Israel, the USA and India to finish off Pakistan? I thought hanuman India would suffice? LMAO

Somethings never change, they had same attitude during Indo-US nuclear deal.

An American diplomat in wikileaks termed it as me-tooism

The same American diplomat who is now disgraced with Trump the clown as his president.

It doesn't matter. Remember that we exploded the device against all odds. It left you stunned and today you have to carry out fake surgical strikes to save face. This deal means nothing to us. We will make sure Pakistan retains parity. Next you will be the one screaming and shouting.

 

[maximuswarrior]

Yes very true,

It is India that is screaming and shouting to Japan on "discriminatory" nuclear deals


Your intellect seems to be causing burns for some here

LOL says the guy whose country craps in its pants and cries rivers when Pakistan builds reactors with the help of China. Your country uses every forum to mention Pakistani nukes. It is your national obsession. We understand why. They have checkmated you brutally.

Don't even mention the word intellect. Mentioned by you it sounds like an insult.

The status of india is changing rapidly and has been for a full decade now

Pakistanis are learning economic GDP might and strong democratic values are WORTH far more than chinease supplied missles on pak nuke warheads.

The likes of Germany japan USA and EU will listen to india more and more thse next few years.

TRYING to demand equal treatment because it upsets the balanvce or status quo will go on deaf ears

You are living in a fools paradise. Pakistan will work both on economy and its security. Both go hand in hand.

Like I said, Pakistan will make sure that this deal is countered appropriately. Japan, the US or any other nation for that matter should not cry foul about increasing nuclear stockpiles. These countries are contributing to an increase in nuclear weapons. That is all we are conveying.

 

[maximuswarrior]

WELL STOP WHINGING then about a nuclear deal between two Asian GIANTS like India & Japan.

LOL you are not an Asian giant. Learn to feed your people first. If only you could feed your people like signing nuke deals.

Don't cry when we counter this deal. We always do. That is all we are saying.

 

[Thəorətic Muslim]

People/Countries should mind their own business.

That includes "Think Tanks" in UK.

 

[maximuswarrior]

You know world is not a fair place.

Here the only language people understand is money.

PAISA BOLTA HAI, PAISA HAI TO IZZAT HAI, MAAL HAI TO TAAL HAI. SHOW ME THE MONEY.

Does Pakistan have that kind of money the kind of money India is showing. NO. Bhikari ki koi nahi sunta, Chilao jitna jor se chila sakte ho, no one will listen to a terrorist bhikari nation called Pakistan.

Reported for foul langauge.

So much for bhikari... Today you got humiliated with the inauguration of CPEC. Multi-billion dollar investment
from our ally China. Now watch how we make sure that Chinese goods cheaply reach to the world whilst you are burning and dying from a distance. Whilst doing that we will earn handsomely and turn te fortunes of Pakistan. LOL meanwhile you just keep hoping that Pakistan seizes to exist with the help of Israel and the USA LMAO

That makes no sense whatsover. Does India get humiliated every time Pakistan builds something?

If that were the case then vice-verce Pakistan would probably be humiliated every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

LOL you are not an Asian giant.

Yes.
The second largest country of Asia by population
The second largest country of Asia by size
The third largest country of Asia by economy

But no you're right. India is not an Asian giant.

How old are you? Your intelligence level indicates teenager.
