Senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh on April 17 questioned the intention behind the CPI(M)‘s poll manifesto promise to dismantle India’s nuclear weapons and demanded the Congress to make its stand on this issue clear.
Mr. Singh alleged that talks of dismantling India's nuclear weapons amount to playing with national security. He also alleged that there was a "deep rooted conspiracy to weaken the country".
Speaking at a public meeting in Kasaragod district of the State, Mr. Singh said India worked hard to become one of the 11 nuclear power nations in the world and dismantling its nuclear weapons will weaken the country whose neighbours Pakistan and China are nuclear powers.
