World must understand Pak mindset: India

Declaring that it is not impressed by tests of 'borrowed' missiles by Islamabad, India on Sunday said it is important for the world community to understand clearly the actual mindset of the Pakistani leadership.

"We have already said earlier that we are not impressed by these missile antics, particularly when all that is demonstrated is borrowed or imported ability," external affairs ministry spokesperson Nirupama Rao said.

She was responding to the Hatf-3 (Ghaznavi) surface-to-surface short-range missile test carried out by Pakistan on Sunday morning.

"The technology used in the missiles is not their own but clandestinely acquired from other countries, a fact that has been unearthed by India and extensively documented in research findings by well-established research institutions and laboratories all over the world," the spokesperson said.

The spokesperson said, "What is important is for the international community to understand clearly the actual mindset of the Pakistani leadership."

Asked about violation of the missile non-proliferation regime by Pakistan, she said, "The actions of Pakistan fit into the international community's nightmarish scenario of state-sponsored terrorist activities armed with ballistic missile technology and nuclear weaponry."

She said the missile tests conducted by Pakistan were aimed at its domestic audience and constituencies. "Pakistan is not testing its missiles; rather it is flaunting them and by doing so it is catering to the domestic audience and constituencies in Pakistan," the spokesperson said.
