Mumbai’s nuclear material theft incident questions India’s nuclear command, control system: Abdullah Gul
ISLAMABAD: Chairman Tehreek e Jawaan Pakistan (TJP), Mohammad Abdullah Gul on Sunday said that the theft of nuclear arsenal, equipment and enriched uranium in Mumbai put a question mark on the security of the Indian weapons and its command and control system.
In his statement, about the theft of nuclear material and the equipment used in Mumbai, India, the TJP Chairman said that the theft of radioactive materials and equipment in India in recent days and the theft from the Daba nuclear weapon system in Mumbai raised questions on calmness of International Atomic Energy Commission (IAEA) and western nations.
Gul said according to Indian media, five individuals were arrested on the charge of possessing the device. He said that the device was a radiography camera recovered from the house of former Income Tax Commissioner Suman.
He said that on the radiography camera seized from the flat of the Income Tax Commissioner, the board of radio isotope technology was written on it. Gul said that according to the Indian media, a black box was also found from the spot, which showed the presence of radiation.
“If terrorism is being carried out in Pakistan with the help of these devices, then the responsibility lies with the Western countries and the International Atomic Energy Commission, which is not taking any action against India despite the fact that many radioactive devices have been stolen many times,” he said.
