Defence Minister Rajnath Singh’s recent statement urging that Pakistan’s nuclear weapons be brought under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is not only timely but also rooted in legitimate global concerns.
Singh during his recent speeches has highlighted the dangerous nexus between Pakistan’s establishment and terror networks, stating that it is no longer unthinkable for nuclear weapons to fall into the hands of terrorists. This alarming possibility demands urgent international attention, and Singh’s call for IAEA supervision is both appropriate and necessary.
Pakistan’s record on nuclear security has long been under scrutiny. Despite being a nuclear-armed state, it has consistently failed to distance itself from radical elements that threaten regional and global peace. Several terror groups with established links to the Pakistani military-intelligence apparatus, including JeM and LeT, continue to operate with impunity.
The revelation that the Pakistani government may be diverting international aid to rebuild terror infrastructure and financially support UN-designated terrorists like Masood Azhar is not just a regional threat—it is a global one.
The nuclear-terror nexus is the most terrifying possibility in today’s geopolitical landscape. A state that shelters, funds, and promotes terrorism while possessing nuclear weapons cannot be considered a responsible nuclear power.
The Defence Minister’s statement is a reflection of the growing consensus that Pakistan’s nuclear capabilities need to be monitored not just by neighbouring countries like India, but by the global community through institutions like the IAEA.
The IAEA, the world’s nuclear watchdog, has the mandate to ensure that nuclear energy is used only for peaceful purposes. If there is credible concern that a country’s nuclear weapons could fall into the hands of non-state actors, especially terrorists, the IAEA must act.
International law and global nuclear non-proliferation treaties aim to prevent exactly such scenarios. Singh’s proposal is not an infringement on sovereignty—it is a call for collective security.
Moreover, Singh’s warning gains further weight in the context of Pakistan’s deepening economic crisis. A financially unstable nation with nuclear capabilities and ties to terror groups is a recipe for disaster.
Economic desperation may make the country more susceptible to coercion or corruption, thereby compromising nuclear security. If even a fraction of IMF assistance is being funneled to terror groups—as Singh claims—then global financial institutions must rethink their policies. Aid meant for economic stability must not become a tool for terror funding.
India, as a responsible nuclear power, has upheld strict command and control systems and maintains a no-first-use policy. In contrast, Pakistan has shown opacity, volatility, and a willingness to use the nuclear card as political leverage. The time has come for the international community to move beyond words and take concrete steps.
