"Government of India is aware that Pakistan is operating nuclear reactors at Khushab capable of producing plutonium for use in Pakistan's nuclear weapons. According to reports, the 4th such reactor has just become operational," he said.

Singh, however, said the government is committed to taking all necessary steps to safeguard India's interests on the basis of India's national security requirements.

I wont trust Indian media on a news concerning Pakistani nuclear reactor. Any local sources?
 
.
The reactor has been operational for some time now.
Lok sabha has been informed a few months late.
Not a good performance by RAW

I don't know which Khushab reactor it was,as Khushab has many. But one of Khushab reactor was also the venue of Pakistans one and only fatal nuclear accident,compared to 19 fatal nuclear accidents in India.
It was a hydrogen phosphate gas leak,which was stopped by a very brave technician,who could have run away and saved himself,but took a fatal dose of the gas trying to shut down safety valves.
