"Primarily regarding what’s happening in Pakistan it’s becoming increasingly unstable. The Taliban and Pakistani Taliban are moving into the heart lands and they are getting into alliances with local Punjabi groups and increasingly there are politicians who are working towards trying to get these groups on their side. They (extremists) can complete take over the state-run actors and here countries like the U.S. have already started locking down nuclear sites to prevent what would happen if something like that actually occurred in terms of transferring the nuclear weapons."

" There is some sort of symbiotic relationship between the nuclear programmes in Pakistan and China. We have seen this repeated again and again over the past 20 years. I think what we do need to realize is that China, what China in terms of its regional, and strategic aims, its important to have an ally in Pakistan. And, Pakistan is not a direct threat, Pakistan can be controlled "

"Pakistan is doubling its nuclear stockpile. But, the main issue is who is financing the projects and what is its purpose? Pakistan is using more than 8 per cent of its GDP for defence spending. The aid which Pakistan is getting from the U.S. and Gulf countries, it is `secretly’ using on defence and nuclear weapons. This is a very serious issue especially to the American people and to the European community, those who continue aiding Pakistan. " -- Muneer Mengal, Paris
