There’s a lot of things Obama doesn’t understand.

Reacting critically to US President Barack Obama’s comments asking India to reduce its nuclear arsenal, the government today said there seems to be a “lack of understanding” of the country’s defence posture.
External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said conventionally, India, which has a no-first use nuclear weapons policy, has never initiated military action against any neighbour.
“Yes, we have seen those remarks. There seems to be a lack of understanding of India’s defence posture. Conventionally, India has never initiated military action against any neighbour. We also have a no-first use nuclear weapons policy,” Mr Swarup said.
“Since the context was the Nuclear Security Summit, the President’s own remark that ‘expanding nuclear arsenals in some countries, with more small tactical nuclear weapons which could be at greater risk of theft’ sums up the focus of global concern,” Mr Swarup added.
