Last week in Bokaro seized material is not uranium or radioactive

AIR News : The External Affairs Ministry today said the material seized last week in Bokaro, Jharkhand is not uranium and not radioactive.

In response to a media query, External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Arindam Bagchi said the gratuitous remarks about India by the Pakistan’s Foreign Ministry on a media report about seizure of suspected material indicate their disposition to malign India without caring to check or verify facts.

The spokesperson also reaffirmed that India maintains a stringent law-based regulatory system for internationally controlled items which is reflected in its impeccable non-proliferation credentials recognised by the international community.
