The world must recognize that a blundering, belligerent & fumbling India cannot continue to hide behind outdated narratives. In the aftermath of its recent military setback—a war it initiated and ultimately lost—thanks to the valor of Pakistan’s Armed Forces, particularly the Pakistan Air Force (PAF), and the unshakable unity of the Pakistani people, Bharat was resoundingly defeated. As a result, the issue of Jammu & Kashmir has regained visibility on the global agenda. However, a confused and frustrated India is responding with provocative rhetoric, hot air, bombast & bluster. A glaring example of this was the statement made by Indian Defense Minister Rajnath Singh, who called for Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal to be placed under IAEA supervision. This unwarranted demand reflects not only desperation but also an attempt to divert international attention from India’s own alarming record of nuclear material mismanagement. The Indian leadership’s attempt to shift focus by targeting Pakistan is both misleading and dangerous. Pakistan’s Foreign Office reacted promptly and appropriately, urging the IAEA to investigate India’s deeply flawed control over its nuclear arsenal and to launch a comprehensive investigation into the pattern of nuclear material theft, illicit trafficking, and a thriving black-market in radioactive substances within the country. Despite India's (false) claims of being a responsible nuclear state, numerous documented cases indicate systemic lapses in the handling of fissile material. My specific research on this issue points out to at least ten serious incidents involving unauthorized possession, theft, or attempted smuggling of radioactive substances in India: 1. 1992 – 2 kg of uranium seized from smugglers in Meghalaya. 2. 1998– An Indian politician detained for transporting 100 kg of uranium. 3. 2003– 225 grams of uranium recovered in West Bengal. 4. 2008– A gang attempted to smuggle uranium from a state-run mine to Nepal. 5. 2008– A group aided by an Atomic Minerals Division employee’s son tried to move uranium to Bangladesh. 6. 2009– An Indian nuclear reactor employee used a radioactive isotope to poison individuals. 7. 2013– Guerrillas obtained uranium from a government facility and attempted to build a crude explosive device. 8. 2016– Two individuals arrested in Mumbai for possessing 9 kg of depleted uranium for sale on the black market. 9. 2021– Two men apprehended in Maharashtra with 7 kg of uranium worth 2.8 million. 10. 2024 – A gang caught with highly radioactive Californium valued at over 100 million. These incidents reveal a systemic failure in India’s nuclear security architecture—posing a serious and credible threat not only to regional but also global peace. The possibility of nuclear material falling into the hands of non-state actors, including terrorist groups, is a risk the international community cannot afford to overlook. In stark contrast, Pakistan has maintained an unblemished record, with no reported incidents of nuclear or radioactive material theft or trafficking. Pakistan’s nuclear security regime remains robust, strictly adheres to international best practices, and is consistently evaluated under IAEA oversight and other global standards. In light of these facts, Pakistan must urge the international community, particularly the IAEA, to take urgent notice of India’s nuclear vulnerabilities. A thorough, impartial investigation into India’s nuclear safety practices is essential for regional stability and international security. The world must recognize that a blundering, belligerent & fumbling India cannot continue to hide behind outdated narratives. Its failures in governance, diplomacy, and security cannot be whitewashed by invoking the pretext of terrorism. The international community must now hold India accountable and address the real and growing dangers emanating from its recent war brinkmanship and emerging as a dangerously irresponsible nuclear state. https://www.dawn.com/news/1911261
