International bodies pressurized both the countries to open their nuclear installation for checking the activities as well as sign the NPT but both the countries denied for it due the security reasons. The lack of talk and confidence building measures between the two countries. India and Pakistan have not engaged in official or unofficial talks on nuclear issues for several years, and have no formal mechanisms to communicate or de-escalate during a crisis.

India’s decision was also influenced by its security environment, especially the threat posed by China, which had conducted its first nuclear test in 1964 and had fought a border war with India in 1962. India claimed that Pakistan always promoting terrorism which operates in Kashmir and rest of India, such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammed), Hizbul Mujahideen.
