Press Statement issued by BJP National Spokesperson and MP
Shri Prakash Javadekar

1. The passage of safeguard agreement at IAEA is not an occasion to celebrate but an occasion to introspect the consequences of the conditionality, which binds India in perpetuity. As was feared by BJP the agreement is not an India specific but is a modal agreement for non-nuclear-weapon states. The preamble pays lip service to India's concerns but it is not part of an operational agreement. The India-IAEA safeguards accord comes with perpetual, legally irrevocable obligations, which India can not suspend or end, even if the supplier-states cut off supply of fuel and replacement parts.

Now, India is under perpetual inspection regime of IAEA, without guarantee of fuel in perpetuity. BJP wanted strategic partnership with USA, but what UPA has achieved is strategic subservience. While the five established nuclear weapon states have offered only 11 facilities out of total 400 facilities for inspections, India has agreed to place 14 reactors and 21 other institutes under perpetual inspections.

BJP's yet another fear has also come true if we read the statement by Nicholus Burns carefully. He has clearly stated that Hyde Act is applicable to 123 agreement and prohibits India from further nuclear tests. If India tests in future USA can take back the fuel, plant, machinery and spares without India's permission. The statement by Nicholus Burns clearly vindicates BJP's interpretation and negates the govt. version, that is why govt. is keeping mum on the issue.

BJP wants to ask the government as to why it is not coming clear on the issue of energy to be generated through this agreement. We have three posers to the government.

a. What is the total quantum of power (in M.W.) will be added after the agreement?

b. When the new reactors will start generating the power?

c. What is the cost of nuclear energy (per unit of electricity)?
We know that govt. is silent for last three years on these three vital questions as the answers to it are Inconvenient Truth.

2. The attempt to defame BJP by the dirty trick department of Congress-SP unholy alliance has failed miserably. Everybody suspects that the ill-conceived fake CD seems to be the handy work of this department, where director is Congress, producer is Amar Singh and distributor is Uma Bharti. The role of Sh. Amar Singh in luring away MPs from various party has been accepted by himself in an interview to a national fortnightly in which he has stated "I don't break parties. They will start melting when I am around. I will gather them and put them in a pot. I will get MPs, more than I have claimed." He must explain the modus-operendi and formula of "getting the MPs" and melting of parties when he is around.

It is proved now that the fake CD was shot only after the trust vote just to defame BJP and divert the attention from the original CD which is being inspected by the Parliamentary Committee and which has not been telecast by the channel, which performed the original sting. BJP is confident that in this battle truth will emerge victorious and nepherous designs of Congress-SP unholy alliance will be defeated. People of the country have realised that this unholy alliance can go to any extent to hide their sin and their monstrous act of destroying democracy by manipulating forged the victory.
