This follows Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh's comments on Thursday in Srinagar, where he urged Pakistan's nuclear arsenal to be put under International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) control, citing that they are unsafe in what he called "such a rogue nation."

Singh's remarks came after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that India would not accept "nuclear blackmail" from Pakistan and pledged to firm up its response to cross-border terrorism.
