Nuclear Weapon Control Power In India: In America, the President has the control of nuclear weapons. But in India, who has this power? Let us tell you about this. 

Nuclear Weapon Control Power In India: So far, one country has carried out a nuclear attack on another country. That nuclear attack happened in the year 1945 when America dropped two nuclear bombs named Little Boy and Fat Man on two Japanese cities Nagasaki and Hiroshima during World War 2. After the nuclear bomb, there was massive destruction in those cities of Japan. The then President of America Harry S Truman had ordered this attack.

In America, the control of nuclear weapons is with the President of America. And only he can order this nuclear attack. Meanwhile, this question also comes to the mind of many people that in America, where the control of nuclear weapons is in the hands of the President. Then who has this power in India? Let us tell you about this. 

Does PM Modi have the control?

Just like in America, the President has control over nuclear weapons. The security personnel accompanying the American President carry a nuclear football with them. It contains the things required to initiate a nuclear attack. In India, who has this power and control over nuclear weapons? Many people think that it is in the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

So let us tell you that this is half true. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has control over nuclear weapons. He also has a smart code using which nuclear weapons can be launched. However, the power to launch nuclear weapons is not only in the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

The decision is taken on the advice of the Nuclear Command Authority

In India, the control of nuclear weapons is with the Prime Minister of India. But even if the Prime Minister wants, he cannot order a nuclear attack on any country. In India, decisions related to nuclear weapons are taken jointly by the Nuclear Command Authority. The Nuclear Command Authority has two wings. One of which is a political council.

The other is the Executive Council. The head of the Executive Council is the National Security Advisor. The Political Council is headed by the Prime Minister of India. The Prime Minister decided to use nuclear weapons based on the decision taken jointly by the Nuclear Command Authority.
