Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Mir Zafarullah Khan Jamali on December 4 said the country's nuclear assets were in safe hands, allaying fears expressed by Russian President Vladamir Putin over the danger of its nuclear weapons falling into the hands of extremists.

"Pakistan's nuclear assets are in safe hands. Pakistan is a positive thinking country and there is no need for worry about country's nuclear programme," Jamali told reporters.

Asked when he planned to prove his majority in the Parliament, Jamali said he was not in a hurry.

His government managed to regain one-vote majority in the 342-member National Assembly after Muttahida Quami Movement (MQM) withdrew its threat to vote against the government.
