Waiver to India by NSG a discrimination

Interior Minister Rehman Malik
Islamabad March 23 2011

The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) created discrimination between haves and have-nots. Now the world is asking Pakistan to stop producing fissile material meaning that they are not  recognising it as a nuclear weapon state, said Federal Minister for Interior Rehman Malik.

He was speaking on the last day of a three-day International Conference on ‘Fissile Material Treaty: Possibility and Prospects’ organised by the South Asian Strategic Stability Institute (SASSI) here on Tuesday. Ayesha Naveed was the stage secretary, while Maria Sultan, director-general of SASSI, chaired the last session.

Rehman Malik said that discrimination is hated all over the world, but the Nuclear Suppliers Group committed it by giving waiver to India. He said that Pakistan over these years experienced discrimination at the hands of major powers.  More >>>
