Pakistan response

India has proved to be a careless and irresponsible nation in the recent

past. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the nuclear sector and the
sale of uranium on the black market, thereby increasing the risk of dirty
bombs. Yet such instances of proliferation are going unnoticed. The
relevant international authorities appear the least bothered.
 On the other hand Pakistan was always careful about its nuclear
security. Pakistan’s nuclear regulatory authority had taken
necessary steps for the safety, security, and accountability of
Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, facilities, and materials even before
the 9/11 incident.

Pakistan did not raise the matter with the International Atomic Energy
Agency (IAEA), the United Nations’ nuclear watchdog, because it has
been the government’s policy that security of nuclear material is a
national responsibility. But Pakistani SenetorRehmanmalik wrote aletter
to IAEA in which he urged them The IAEA chief should call an
emergency meeting, inviting western countries cautioning about this
new trend by India to bring uranium as one of the business commodities,
being traded openly by private dealers. The theft of uranium and its
subsequent sale to unauthorised customers is not only dangerous for
India, its neighbours but the whole world. Not least because this material
will likely find its way to the black market before ending up in the hands
of non-state actors and terrorists. 
NGS assailed for treating Pakistan and India differently
Indian and Pakistani applications for membership have been held up at
the NSG since 2016 because of their non-NPT status and differences
between members over the admission criteria. The frequent incidents of
nuclear theft in India is questionable and should be watch by NSG befor
giving india its membership. loose state control shows that India has to
go a long way to before becoming a responsible nuclear power and
member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG).

IAEA
These recent developments remind us that despite not being a signatory
to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), India was able to secure a waiver
from the IAEA; owing to its supposed “excellent record in nuclear
security”. However, the facts speak for themselves.Unless India strictly
regulates nuclear material, it will be considered complicit in the
proliferation of the same. The IAEA is aware that, as of November 2020,
India has 22 operational nuclear reactors in seven nuclear power plants,
with a total installed capacity of 6,780 MW.The IAEA must conduct a
detailed investigation since the extremist BJP government cannot be
trusted. All previous incidents of nuclear proliferation inside India need
to be made public .

FATF

IAEA to refer the case of Indian nuclear proliferation to FATF

(Financial Action Task Force), as it is too serious to be ignored and
poses a far greater threat than actual terrorism and money laundering.
India continuously demanding Pakistan to add in black list but the
nuclear security in a serious concern.

Conclusion
t is not understood why the media does not deflect their attention to the
fragile nuclear-security environment in India. It is unfortunate that the
purblind critics fail to see the gnawing voids in India’s nuclear
security.The proliferation of nuclear material cannot happen without the
active connivance of state operators. Thus, India must now prove its
credibility by enhancing the internal administration and security of its
nuclear plants. It also needs to introduce stringent legislation by
enhancing punishment for nuclear proliferation. The private sale of
uranium has to be prohibited; otherwise, every dirty bomb that falls into
the hands of terrorists and non-state actors will unleash carnage worse
