Advani: IAEA draft shows India as non-nuclear weapon state

Raising the pitch on the Indo-US nuclear deal, the BJP on Thursday slammed the Congress-led Government for "deceiving the country' by forwarding the safeguard draft of the nuclear deal to the IAEA members "even before winning a trust vote in Parliament'. "Our misgivings about the Government's approach have come true. A conspiracy is afoot to present the country a fait accompli. What has been done surreptitiously needs to be condemned. This is something that no Government should do, least of all a minority Government,' said senior party leader L K Advani.
