ISLAMABAD, Pakistan, Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Pakistan has described claims in a recent book about its nuclear program as a “pack of lies,” a report said Tuesday.
Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, Pakistan foreign office spokeswoman Tasnim Aslam charged that Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark’s book “Deception: Pakistan, the United States and the Secret Trade in Nuclear Weapons” is aimed at discrediting Pakistan’s nuclear program, Pakistan’s Daily Times reported.
The book by the veteran British journalists describes Pakistan’s nuclear weapons program and the role of scientist A.Q. Khan.
“Some people cannot digest our nuclear capability and are involved in negative propaganda but Pakistan is an anchor of peace and stability in the region,” Aslam was quoted as saying.
She also said critics should note that her country did not commit the “original sin” of bringing destructive weapons to the region, the report said.
