With India failing
yet again to gain membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), Delhi Chief
Minister Chief Minister Arvind
Kejriwal has called on
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called on Prime MinisterNarendra Modi to explain to the nation as to why did
this happen, despite him travelling to other countries seeking their support in
the matter, in his 'Mann Ki Baat' address.
"Sir, I hope u
will tell the nation tomo why did u fail so miserably at NSG despite so many
foreign visits," Kejriwal said re-tweeting the Prime
Minister tweet calling
on the nation to join him in the 'Mann Ki Baat'
show.
Earlier, accusing the
present Modi Government of indulging in 'public tamashas', the Congress Party
dubbed the BJP-led NDA government as 'desperate' and accused the saffron party
of allowing India into the NSG elite group, saying this kind of hectic
campaigning was not required.
"It is an
embarrassment for India to do what was not required. When there are no
obstacles when it comes to nuclear trade with the NSG countries, it was
unnecessary. We do not know why India showed its desperation and allowed India
to be equated with Pakistan on the issue of NSG membership," senior
Congress spokesperson Anand Sharma told ANI.
On Friday, China said
that the NSG will not discuss its membership bid into the elite group, adding
that New Delhi will first have to sign the NPT, as it is a must and a major
criteria set up by the NSG.
Speaking to ANI in Seoul,
Director-General of the Arms Control Department of Ministry of Foreign Affairs
of China Wang Qun asserted that India's membership has 'never ever' been on the
agenda of the NSG and that there is no such agenda item for the two-day
plenary, adding that there is no point of China opposing or supporting India as
well as the membership of other countries.
However, India
remained buoyant asserting that an early decision on its application remains in
larger global interest and India's participation in the NSG will further strengthen nuclear
non-proliferation and make global nuclear commerce more secure.
