The World : Gandhi Sees A-Arms Threat

Share via

Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi warned that Pakistan is building nuclear weapons and that India is considering what action to take to counter “this dangerous development.” Gandhi, opening a two-day meeting of the Congress-I Party, indirectly criticized the United States for failing to stop Pakistan’s nuclear efforts. Pakistan recently reported that its scientists have made a major breakthrough in nuclear research by enriching uranium. India exploded a nuclear device in 1974 but so far has not built a deliverable nuclear weapon.
