Why should a treaty that gives India nuclear fuel be considered a ‘rape of sovereignty’?
The problem is the way you formulate the question and look at the issue. Nuclear deal is part of a larger strategic sect of alliances. We have a Defence Agreement of 2005, a Logistics Agreement that’s on the table and we are also talking about a range of other such agreements. The nuclear deal is one way to make India’s future nuclear energy programme dependent on US and other energy powers. That is something we are not looking it.
