The joint declaration issued by India and the United States during the Prime Minister’s visit is shocking as it effectively celebrates the undermining of India’s sovereign Nuclear Liability Act, passed by the parliament in 2010 to ensure justice to the victims in case of an accident.
It is still not too late Prime Minister, for you to step back from this set of decisions which will not bring your government credit and if anything shows us up as a pliant state.
The Parliament’s sovereignty, as expressed in the democratically mandated liability provision for nuclear suppliers, is facing brazen contempt by a government bent on placating the international nuclear corporates.
