Question

Why India have not signed nuclear non plorification treaty?

Answer 1

✨India's then External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said during a visit to Tokyo in 2007: "If India did not sign the NPT, it is not because of its lack of commitment for non-proliferation, but because we consider NPT as a flawed treaty and it did not recognize the need for universal, non-discriminatory verification .✨

Answer 2

Answer:

According to NPT , only the Horizontal Proliferation is prohibited and not the vertical proliferation i.e. no new country except the p-5 (US, UK, Russia, China and France) can proliferate the nuclear weapons. And the most tricky part is that there is no limitation or clause to limit further proliferation by the p-5 nations. This means that p-5 can acquire as many weapons as they can but other nations shouldn't dare to procure any . This is a clear discrimination and a move to permanently geo-politicize nuclear weapons.

If India signs the NPT, we will be exposed to China's nuclear weapons. India has always said that if there is a complete ban,then she will sign the treaty. Also, India will never use a nuclear weapon first, only retaliate.
