As a responsible nation, India has put in place a robust nuclear command and control structure, effective safety assurance architecture and strict political control, under its Nuclear Command Authority.

It remains committed to the doctrine of Credible Minimum Deterrence and No First Use, as enshrined in the decision taken by the Cabinet Committee on Security in its meeting chaired by the then Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee on January 04, 2003.

The success of INS Arihant enhances India’s security needs.

It is a major achievement for our entire nation.

True to its name, INS Arihant will protect the 130 crore Indians from external threats and contribute to the atmosphere of peace in the region.

In an era such as this, a credible nuclear deterrence is the need of the hour.

The success of INS Arihant gives a fitting response to those who indulge in nuclear blackmail.

Today is historic because it marks the completing of the successful establishment of the nuclear triad. India's nuclear triad will be an important pillar of global peace and stability.

India is a land of peace. Values of togetherness are enshrined in our culture.

Peace is our strength, not our weakness.

Our nuclear programme must be seen with regard to India’s efforts to further world peace and stability.

We are guided by this Mantra:

राष्ट्र रक्षा समं पुण्यं,
राष्ट्र रक्षा समं व्रतम्,
राष्ट्र रक्षा समं यज्ञो,
दृष्टो नैव च नैव च।।

We will do everything for our beloved nation and for the wellbeing of 130 crore Indians.

Vande Mataram!

Jai Hind!
