"She said if compared to Asian countries it is Russia [Images] and the US who have met with nuclear accidents. She even praised India's record of nuclear safety."

The subject isn't India. The subject is Pakistan's safety record.

Such a standard cannot be expected of countries run by military establishments with a muzzled media.
