India agreed to separate civilian and military facilities and programmes.Why throw down the drain what our scientists have achieved? The cost of separation will be huge and this was never mentioned in the house even though BJP is asking about this since 2005. This separation plan is not applicable to recognized nuclear states.
US has trapped India into an agreement whose provisions are more stringent than those of CTBT or NPT which we have not signed.
The Objective of the Hyde Act is to cap, reduce and eliminate India’s nuclear weapon programme and thus restricts our nuclear sovereignty. China has supplied 6 reactors to Pakistan without asking for separation plan.
US will secure India’s participation to contain Iran. This agreement wants India’s foreign policy to be same as that of the USA.We will not deal with Iran as per the wishes of USA.India can not become the camp follower of any country.
The bill will ask US President to certify every year that India is adhering to the laws of the deal & keep them informed of any nuclear activities of India.
The quantity of uranium, mined by India.
The amount of uranium likely used or allocated for explosives.
The rate of production of fissile material for nuclear explosive devices.
.
The treaty is for 40 years and extendable for another 10 years. However we shall have to remain under surveillance for all times to come.
Section 106 of Hyde Act bans Indian testing and specifies punitive actions including returning nuclear reactors sold to India.123 Agreement cannot override Hyde Act. This is an infringement of India’s sovereignty.
The separation plan is tilted heavily against India. 14 out of 22 Thermal power reactors will be placed under observation. We have agreed to place under safeguard all future civilian reactors and fast breeder reactors even if they are 100% indigenous.
Under US pressure, we have agreed to shut down the CIRUS reactor in 2010 which is a major supplier of plutonium for our weapons programme.
123 mention that US inspectors can inspect those places where duel purpose items are made and verify that they have not been misused. This is really too much!
Fictional right is given to India by 123 that we can take corrective measures in event of disruption of foreign fuel supplies. Nowhere has the Govt of India clarified what these corrective measures could be.
.
This is the second 123 we are signing with USA. 1st was related to the Tarapur reactors and when India did Pokhran I, they terminated the deal citing its domestic laws. Shouldn’t we be more careful this time?
.
NPT is coming up for a review in 2010. Shouldn’t we have waited to negotiate a deal which will enable us to be recognized as a nuclear weapon state. What was the hurry?
Draft not shown to allies/left and PM refused a JPC to investigate. Why? Other countries saw it, it was on the net and to the entire world but Indian Parliament was not shown. Isn’t this a mockery of democracy? Leave alone the Parliament, Dr Singh did not consult his cabinet, the cabinet committee on political affairs, his senior colleagues or allies.
Contrasting statements: Govt says, Hyde Act is not applicable but all US congressmen say it fully applies!
Even a 20 fold increase in nuclear capacity by 2030 will lead nuclear energy to fulfil only 5% of our total needs. So what was the need or the hurry on this deal?
Why didn’t the government sign an agreement, presumably on par with 123 agreements with Russia? The Indian side backed out at the last moment. What was the proposal? Why did you back out if you had agreed earlier?
