The BJP on Thursday accused the Government of succumbing to fresh US conditionalities on the Indo-US nuclear deal.
New Delhi: The BJP on Thursday demanded setting up of a Joint Parliamentary Committee (JPC) to oversee the implementation of a resolution reflecting the take of Parliament on the Indo-US nuclear deal.
Opposing the "fundamentally flawed" deal which would have a "deleterious impact", senior BJP leader Yashwant Sinha said in the Rajya Sabha that India cannot bend to the will of the US Congress and this message should go loud and clear.
The former External Affairs Minister, who initiated the Short Duration Discussion on Indo-US nuclear deal, said his party was opposed to the deal signed on July 18 last year because from the very next day "diametrically differing interpretations of the deal started coming from the US side".
