We have clean waiver on nuclear trade: Pranab
India has a "clean waiver" for its civilian nuclear programme from the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and "we are not concerned about what the G8 says", Finance Minister Pranab Mukehrjee said here Monday.
He was speaking in the Rajya Sabha after the Group of Eight countries (G8), at its summit in Italy last week, passed a resolution banning the transfer of enrichment and reprocessing items to countries that have not signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).
India is one of the prominent non-signatories of NPT.
Last year, the NSG had waived its export rules to allow the sale of nuclear equipment, fuel and technology to India. The then administration of George W. Bush played a leading role in persuading NSG member countries to do so.
