US tells Pakistan to 'limit nukes', Pakistan says 'no'

NEW DELHI: Even as India considers military options to deal with cross-border terror after Sunday's Uri attack, a comment from Pakistan today - especially its timing - should give pause to anyone in New Delhi considering ill-thought-out plans of retaliation.

"Pakistan's nuclear program cannot be restricted," said Pakistan's permanent representative to the UN, Maleeha Lodhi, today in a New York press conference, Pakistani media reported.

Lodhi said that at a meeting with US secretary of state John Kerry urged Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to limit Pakistan's atomic program. In response, Sharif told Kerry that what was expected of Pakistan must also be implemented by India, according to Lodhi.

"The world should first put an end to nuclear activities undertaken by India," Lodhi told reporters, adding that Pakistan's inclusion in the Nuclear Suppliers Group was also discussed during the meeting with Kerry.

Shut Terror Havens, US Warns Pak; Islamabad's Agenda - Internationalise Kashmir?

The army today foiled two infiltration bids in Jammu and Kashmir - one in Uri, the other in Naugam. This on a day India began its project 'Isolate Pak' with Afghanistan and Bangladesh saying they are "ready to cooperate". Afghan envoy to India told NDTV that his country can consider SAARC boycott in Pakistan. The US, meanwhile, has warned Pakistan to shut terror havens and restrain nuclear weapon programs. On The Buck Stops Here, we debate: what shape should India's 'isolate Pak' project can and should take? Is it time for India to boycott the SAARC session in Islamabad or join hands with countries like Afghanistan and Bangladesh to isolate Pakistan on its own home turf in Islamabad? How will Sushma Swraraj lead the offensive at UN General Assembly? We also look at Pakistan's not so hidden agenda - is the whole point to, once again, internationalise J&K?
