INDIA JOINS NUCLEAR CLUB, GETS NSG WAIVER

[ArShAd]

Quote:The victory in Vienna was received after India and US convinced NSG nations after two rounds of unsuccessful talks.

US President George W Bush called Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to congratulate on the development. The Prime Minister has called it a historic moment for India.

Meanwhile, US Under Secretary, Arms and Control, John Roods has said that it is a historic moment for India and the decision will improve ties between India and the US.

Sources have told NDTV that the new draft, which got the go-ahead by the NSG, has no reference to testing, enrichment ban and preprocessing technology ban.

Speaking about the development, Congress leader Digvijay Singh has said that it is a historic day for India and the Prime Minister and team has achieved an impossible task.

External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee's statement on moratorium is a part of the N-waiver received by India.

As per reports, Pranab's statement on Friday over India's commitment for non-proliferation played a crucial role in changing Austria's mind. Austria said they were among the last to yield.

Meanwhile, China has stressed on balancing energy needs and non-proliferation.

Waste deal for India. It is at loss making such a deal

Well it is good for India in terms of Power supply as India needs it badly. I know most of states have daily power cuts and India needs it. So good deal for India.

There is no assurance in that agreement for fuel supply. But there is an assurance that they can stop if India violates some norms Moreover we don't have that many nuclear plants in the first place. Russia was ready to give but India

Well we need to follow some safty norms and I think it will not be a big issue but if India sign on no Nuclear Test then it will not be good for India in terms of defence.
