New Delhi : In the light of the controversial disclosures on the Indo-US nuclear deal by the “leaking” of a letter, BJP today asked the government to come clear on all the conditions it had covertly agreed to with the US to get the deal through.
“Whatever little credibility this government had, it has lost after the revelations made in the letter- published in the US -on the Indo-US nuclear deal. If they knew about the letter then why they did not confide in Parliament,” BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said at a press conference here.
Asking what other conditions they have agreed to with the US that they are hiding and how many more such letters are there, he demanded that the government should bring all aspects of the issue out in the open.
Javadekar also charged the government with fooling the people and betraying the nation for the past three years on the nuclear deal issue.
Earlier, the BJP had accused the government of heading towards surrender of its right to conduct nuclear tests in future as per the provisions of the nuclear deal.
“However, BJP is not against a nuclear deal with the US. If we come to power we will re-negotiate the deal and seek removal of the controversial issues from it,” Javadekar said.
