India today deplored Pakistan for its ”gratuitous remarks” made merely on the basis of media reports suggesting the seizure of uranium in Bokaro last week.
”Let me reaffirm that India maintains a stringent law-based regulatory system for internationally controlled items which is reflected in our impeccable non-proliferation credentials recognised by the international community,” Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said at a media briefing.
