The Indian Prime minister Mr Singh who arrived in Washington USA as first state guest of Obama’s administration in an interview with CNN has questioned America’s wisdom in regarding Pakistan as a key ally in the war against extremists. PM Singh said: ‘Pakistan’s objectives in Afghanistan are not necessarily in harmony with American objectives.’ Having said that, who am I to judge whether the Pakistan government and the Pakistan army is moving to remove the Afghan Taliban?’ Yes it is true Pakistan army is not operating to remove the Afghan Taliban. It is the responsibility of NATO forces in Afghanistan and Afghan government to remove Afghan Taliban.

Mr Singh further said ‘We worry about these contingencies. But, we have been assured by the United States, the Americans, that they are in safe hands’. He was referring to Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.

Mr. Singh is forgetting one fact here that according to Indian government, the terrorists involved in Mumbai attack traveled hundreds of miles from Pakistan to India and were able to carry out the terrorist act. It took days for Indian forces to overcome the terrorists to end the bloodshed. Does it not show how weak the Indian security arrangements are? Are Indian security of nuclear arsenal also not vulnerable to terrorists?

World should be more worried about Indian nuclear weapons falling into terrorists’ hands rather than Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal.
