Islamabad, Nov 28: Pakistan’s nuclear weapons are not safe under the present PPP dispensation, country’s former foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said, evoking an angry response from the government, which rejected his contention as “baseless”.
Qureshi said, Pakistan’s nuclear programme was not safe under President Asif Ali Zardari’s leadership. The ex-PPP leader has recently parted company with the ruling party and announced joining Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf party.
The former Zardari ally, made these remarks at a public rally at Ghotki in Sindh where he announced joining hands with the cricketer-turned politician. He is the highest ranking Pakistani politician to comment that the country’s nuclear weapons were not safe.
His remarks come on the heels of warnings by Western experts that Islamabad’s nukes could fall into the hands of Taliban terrorists.
