BJP MP Claims 1988 Nuclear Pact Signed Under US Pressure
A politician, Nishikant Dubey, says India and Pakistan made a deal about nuclear weapons in 1988 because the US pushed them to.
He found a letter from the US President at the time, Ronald Reagan, that seems to show this.
Dubey is now asking why people in the Congress party aren't talking about this.
He thinks they were too friendly with the US.
The 1988 deal was about not attacking each other's nuclear places.
BJP MP Nishikant Dubey claims the 1988 nuclear agreement was signed under US pressure.
Dubey cited a declassified letter from Ronald Reagan to Rajiv Gandhi as evidence.
The letter allegedly reveals the US dictated the agenda for talks between India and Pakistan.
Dubey questioned Congress's silence and accused them of aligning with US interests.
The 1988 agreement prevents attacks on nuclear facilities.
