Islamabad (Web Desk): The government on Thursday made it categorically clear that Pakistan's nuclear and missile programme was “totally secure, foolproof and under no stress or pressure, whatsoever.”
"Pakistan's nuclear and missile programme is a national asset, which is jealously guarded by the State. Complete programme is totally secure, foolproof and under no stress or pressure, whatsoever," a statement by Prime Minister's Office (PMO) said.
The statement was issued in wake of all the recent statements, press releases, queries and various assertions regarding Pakistan's nuclear and missile programme, being circulated on social and print media, wherein even a traditional routine visit of International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) DG Rafael Mariano Grossi for peaceful nuclear programme was portrayed in negative spotlight.
The government said that the programme continued to fully serve the purpose for which this capability was developed.
