Pakistani analyst calls for world disarmament
Islamabad, June 30, IRNA – Senior Pakistani political and defence analyst Maj Gen. (Retd.) Jamshed Ayaz Khan on Tuesday stressed the need to devise a universal formula for the world disarmament.
Talking to IRNA, he slammed west for putting pressure on Iran to role back its nuclear programme asking as to why Israel is allowed to develop a nuclear bomb without any check.
He called for efforts to make the Middle East a nuclear-free zone and said that Israel should join the nuclear non-proliferation treaty.
Jamshed Ayaz Khan hailed the statement of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who said Iran is ready for swap of the 3.5 percent enriched uranium with the 20 percent one within the framework of the May 17 Tehran Declaration so as to meet needs of the Tehran Research Reactor to the fuel.
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad further said “We do not know why certain people so much insist on our giving to them the 3.5 percent uranium that we have produced? They claim they fear bomb but they should initially remove their own bombs.”
Ahmadinejad said, “We are ready for fuel swap within the framework of the Tehran Declaration and do not think to add anything to the Tehran Declaration.”
Iran being the signatory of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) can use nuclear energy for peaceful means, however, US and west say Iran is trying to build an atomic bomb, which Iran has strongly denied.
Jamshed Ayaz Khan said that US possesses the largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. He said that US has to destroy these nuclear weapons if it wants to get the NPT implemented.
“The major part of the NPT deals with the disarmament”, he said.
The analyst said that every country has a right to acquire peaceful nuclear technology without any discrimination and that the US has no right to doubt Iran’s nuclear programme.
Jamshed Ayaz Khan added that Iran has been cooperating with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and following the international law regarding its nuclear programme.
Jamshed Ayaz Khan retired as a Major General in 2001 after serving for approximately 39 years in the Army including eleven years as a General Officer.
He is also the member of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, London , the Asia Society, New York and the Rotary Club International. His name is also listed in the International who’s Who Historical Society’s list 2006-07./end
