I quote from an interesting article from this week's Economist edition (29 April - 4 May 2010) under the title "The future of non-proliferation - an akward guest-list:" ... But it is Pakistan that is single-handedly holding up the start of negotiations on an FMCT, though others, including India are not keen to make speedy progress. Pakistan deeply resents the controversial Indial nuclear deal. India is now able to devote more of its limited supplies of domestic uranium to weapons production, letting imports cover more of its civilian needs. Pakistan argues that it needs to keep up, and China seems to be helping it do so by supplying technology that will boost its fissile-material productions and perhaps a nuclear reactor or two, though this would all be against NSG rules. What Pakistan would really love is a deal like India's."

One need to ponder as to what are the factors that led to India's successful candidature for nuclear civilian deal while Pakistan, despite being a declared nuclear state is not yet offered such a deal.
