India free to make nuclear bomb…

India on Monday said it was free to make a nuclear bomb should it feel it necessary to do so keeping in view the regional geo-political situation and the country’s defence requirements.

“Just as India has the right to make a nuclear bomb, countries who are against it have the right to oppose. Among the 185 countries in the world, there are big powers like the US and very small countries like Fiji and the Solomon Islands. All are sovereign and have equal rights,” he said.

Asserting that the Indo-US nuclear deal would not compromise India’s independent foreign policy, Mukherjee said, “our foreign policy is aimed at extending our national interest in the context of the international situation.”
