    India may resume nuclear tests to counter China, claims daily

    India may resume its nuclear tests taking advantage of the unrest in Middle East to counter China which it considers “a slumbering threat at its bedside”, a State-run newspaper said on Wednesday, describing New Delhi as a “super antagonist”.

    Launching a bitter diatribe against India, an article in the ruling Communist Party’s mouth piece People’s Daily said “perhaps, once the Middle East situation further exacerbates, the US would risk helping India become a nuclear-weapon State”.

    “Considering this, India is likely to resume its nuclear tests. For this, China and all the neighbours should sharpen their vigilance on India’s every manoeuvre,” it said.

    Titled as ‘Possible, India resumes nuclear test?’ the article by one of the columnists of the online edition of the publication said, “Currently, the international situation seems delivering a pleasant message to India.”

    “If the sweeping unrest in the Middle East continues and the unpredictable war is prolonged in Libya, the world’s attention and the US top concern will be shifted to the ongoing upheavals, neglecting the sub-continent”.
