<b>'India capable of making 50 N-warheads a year'</b><!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->A top former intelligence official has said India would have the capacity to make about 50 nuclear warheads a year as it would be able to retain six reactors outside safeguards envisaged under the Indo-US nuclear agreement.
"Under the deal, India shall retain six unsafeguarded reactors and shall have the capability of producing nearly 50 nuclear warheads per year," JK Sinha, former Additional Secretary in the Research and Analyses Wing (RAW) of the Cabinet Secretariat, has said.
Sinha said the assurance of supply of nuclear fuel from the US as well as the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) would free India's existing capacity to produce highly enriched uranium and plutonium for its nuclear weapons programme.

Why this canary is singing now? Agenda is clear to change public perception before monsoon session when opposition may go balastic on nuclear deal. Anyway he is lying, prove me wrong.
