Pakistan Secret Nuclear Program: Responding to former US President Donald Trump’s allegation of secret nuclear testing by Pakistan, India’s External Affairs Ministry said that secret and illegal nuclear activities are the dark history of Pakistan.
MEA Statement Pakistan Nuclear: India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Friday gave a strong reaction to former US President Donald Trump’s statement in which he had said that Pakistan is secretly conducting nuclear tests. MEA spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that ‘clandestine and illegal nuclear activities are part of Pakistan’s history.’ He clearly said that India has been telling the world for a long time that Pakistan’s nuclear program is based on smuggling, secret networks and illegal collaborations.
What did Trump say after all?
In an interview with the American news show CBS ’60 Minutes’, Trump claimed, ‘Russia is testing, China is testing, Pakistan is also testing.’ That is, their allegation is that Pakistan is secretly conducting nuclear tests. However he did not provide any evidence. After this statement, the discussion on social media intensified and questions started arising whether Pakistan has recently conducted a secret nuclear test?
Did Pakistan really conduct secret nuclear test?
After Trump’s statement, many people started linking the earthquakes that occurred in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region in April-May 2025. Their intensity was 4.0 to 4.7, which was said to be similar to the tremors of Pakistan’s Chagai nuclear test of 1998. But Pakistan officially refused. A Pakistani security official said, ‘Pakistan will not be the first country to restart nuclear tests.’
