India Rejects Pakistan's Nuke Deal Criticism, Cites Proliferation Record
•India rejected Pakistan's "ludicrous" remarks on the India-Canada uranium deal, calling it a distraction from Pakistan's own nuclear proliferation record.
•MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal stated India's non-proliferation credentials are "impeccable" while highlighting Pakistan's history of providing illicit nuclear knowhow.
•Pakistan has a "well-documented history" of clandestine nuclear proliferation, including providing weapons knowhow and materials to North Korea, Libya, and Iran via AQ Khan.
•The $2.6 billion India-Canada deal, signed during Canadian PM Mark Carney's visit, secures 22 million pounds of uranium for India's nuclear energy from 2027-2035.
•Pakistan criticized the deal, claiming it risks expanding India's nuclear arsenal, endangers global non-proliferation efforts, and destabilizes South Asia.
