Is this why FV is against the nuclear deal

As a NRI(Not Really Indian), she probably supports a deal that limits the development of india's nuclear deterrent.

'N-deal won't affect weapons development'

NEW DELHI: In a welcome break for Prime Minister Mnamohan Singh, under fire from Left and BJP for “compromising” India’s strategic programme, a section of serving and retired nuclear scientists and technologists has defended the US-India atomic deal arguing that it does not curtail development of nuclear weapons.

The scientists, mostly from Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), have launched a campaign to defend the nuclear agreement and have strongly backed the PM on what they feel is a deal which does not limit or rollback India’s minimum credible deterrent.

They have also issued an appeal to their usually silent community to take the campaign to the international arena keeping in mind that a good number of Indian scientists work abroad.

"With his team from MEA and DAE, the Prime Minister spent so much time and effort to bring the agreement to this stage and shape. It is now being called a deal as if he has made some underhand deal with the US. Some political parties doubt the Prime Minister's integrity. It is a matter of national shame," says the appeal issued by A K Anand, former director of reactor projects group at BARC.

Anand, who has also headed technical coordination and international relations at BARC, blasted the Opposition on its criticism of the Hyde Act. "We do not know if, at all and when in the distant future, a test will be required. Circumstances may be different or favourable, political alignments may be different. As of now, we are in a self-imposed moratorium and correctly so," he said.

The scientists, who associated with Anand's appeal but did not want to come on record, argued the agreement is about the civilian nuclear programme and would not affect the weapons programme.

The strategic programme would continue with indigenous reactors, reprocessing, enrichment plants and heavy water plants. "We are not going to give the design and technology to anyone; why, then are we pointing out that the US will not give these technologies as part of the civilian agreement?" they asked.

Pointing out that India had successfully bucked sanctions since 1974, the appeal noted that "DAE scientists, engineers and technologists took up the challenge and after more than 30 years efforts have brought the nation to this stage of strength and pride" and that when developed nations as well as those from the erstwhile Warsaw Pact were keen on doing business, India was suddenly appearing chary.

The scientists contended that not signing the agreement would show India’s arrogance because even the countries that signed the NPT never got such a chance.
