Just like USA when it backstabbed India at the UN, the West hates India too. You are just their colonial buttboy. Everybody hates India!
China will support them of course. India must be partitioned.
Please stop it. Our nation is united and we will never let anyone to see towards our country.
Australian panel gives conditional nod for uranium sale to India - The Hindu
Updated: September 10, 2015 03:31 IST
The Australian government says it is “examining” a report by a parliamentary committee that has recommended more safeguards in India’s nuclear programme before the government can approve uranium sales. The report was released by the Joint Standing committee on Treaties (JSCOT) that has been studying the Indo-Australian nuclear deal that was signed by Prime Ministers Tony Abbott and Narendra Modi in September 2014. The parliamentary report that has “in principle” approved the nuclear deal, recommended that
India be encouraged to sign the nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty (NPT), to separate its civilian and military nuclear facilities further, and appoint an “independent national regulator” to oversee the movement of the uranium, also called Australia-Obligated Nuclear Material (AONM).
The recommendations of the treaty committee are not binding on the Abbott government, but could be used by the opposition Green Party to put further obstacles in the way of uranium sales to India. In August this year, Green party activists were instrumental in overturning environmental clearances to the $16 b Carmichael coal mine project proposed by the Adani group.
However officials are much more hopeful about the prospects on the nuclear deal after the report was tabled. In response to a question from
The Hindu, the Australian High Commission spokesperson said:
“Bringing the agreement into force and making it possible for exports to go ahead are priorities for the government.
“The government will examine the findings of JSCOT, which has conducted a rigorous review of the agreement signed before Mr. Modi and Mr. Abbott last year, and respond as soon as possible.”
For the moment, the
MEA is taking a “wait and watch” position on what the report will mean for uranium imports from Australia, that have been hanging fire since 2012.
“We view the JSCOT decision as a part of the internal processes of Australia, and will await the government response on how they intend to take it forward,” Indian High Commissioner to Australia Navdeep Suri told
The Hindu over telephone from Canberra.
‘Partial victory’
Sources in the
MEA said the committee report was a “partial victory,” given that it has in principle ‘green-lighted’ the nuclear deal.
However according to an official,
India cannot accept the additional safeguards proposed by the Australian committee. India has consistently opposed the NPT, braving sanctions for 4 decades rather than agree to a moratorium on nuclear testing. The recommendations on a national regulator may also exceed what India is prepared to do.
Sources also pointed out that unlike in the past,
India now is not dependent on Australian uranium. Recent nuclear deals that have been renewed with Canada and Kazakhstan have also bolstered this view.
