NUCLEAR CLUB
Pakistan may try to join (N.Z. Press Assn —Copyright? RAWALPINDI, May 21. The chairman of the Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (Dr Munir Ahmad Khan) hinted today that Pakistan might be compelled to follow India’s example of exploding a nuclear device. In a television interview he said that the Indian test on Saturday in Rajastan, on Pakistan’s border, had opened the floodgate for nuclear weapons.
Unless strong and decisive steps were taken by the nuclear powers, the membership of the nuclear club would not stop at six, he said. "Pakistan has already found uranium deposits, and we shall exploit the uranium for our programme very soon,” he said.
