`Musharraf's claim a sick joke'
New Delhi:
The country's nuclear establishment has rubbished Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf's claim that India's uranium enrichment programme could have its roots in A.Q. Khan's clandestine network. The former diplomats describe it as a "sick joke."
Rejecting General Musharraf's charge that New Delhi's uranium enrichment technology "could be a copy" of Islamabad's centrifuge design, Chairman of Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) Anil Kakodkar asserted that the entire nuclear technology has been developed indigenously.
"Our technolgy is based on our indigenous research and development and action consistent with responsible behaviour," he told PTI from Mumbai.
