ISLAMABAD:
“We will not roll back our nuclear programme even if our debts swell to $100 trillion,” says Finance Minister Ishaq Dar dismissing outright Western media reports that suggest Islamabad could barter its nuclear arsenal for dollars.
“We did not start this [nuclear] programme to roll it back,” Dar told lawmakers in the upper house of parliament on Wednesday. “This is a programme of our security, and it is a national responsibility to protect it,” he added. “All political parties of Pakistan share the ownership of our nuclear programme.”
