Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday dismissed doubts raised recently about the success of the country's nuclear tests in 1998.
Indian nuclear scientist S. Santhanam, who was a director for 1998 nuclear test site preparations, has claimed that the tests were only partially successful and the results were much weaker than what was claimed at the time.
He said the explosions did not yield the desired results as the thermonuclear device tested was a "fizzle."
