Clean NSG waiver - Mukherjee
'We have a clean waiver from the NSG. We have an India-specific safeguards agreement with the IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency). We are not concerned over what position the G8 takes (on nuclear commerce with India),' Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee declared during zero hour in the Rajya Sabha.
'Every individual country (that is a member of the NSG) can trade with us. Is G8 the right forum for discussing the terms of nuclear trade with India? It is not the relevant and appropriate authority.
IMO: Seems fair enough. Nobody takes any notice of the G8 posturings. It is certainly true that the EU, Russia, USA and China are large polluters and they clearly are doing extremely little about that, for all their politician's lies at G8. They are basically obliged to pay India for the damage they are doing to it - but they will simply try to take money from India, as they have foolishly done for centuries.
