New Delhi : The Indian government is “well poised” on the civil nuclear deal with the US and it will not face any obstacles in its implementation, Science and Technology Minister Kapil Sibal said Tuesday.
“The government is well poised and the deal would get through,” Sibal told reporters on the sidelines of a marketing summit organised by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here.
Earlier, addressing Indian industry leaders, Sibal said: “In the last few days we are trying to market the nuclear deal to unrealistic customers. The customers need to understand the potential of the deal.
“Customers should also allow the seller to sell. They should understand it’s not just about the civilian nuclear deal. It’s about agriculture, it’s about medicine, it’s about increasing the shelf life of a product through irradiation technology.
“It’s about sharing technology… that was denied to us in the last 60 years. And this can only happen through effective marketing,” the minister maintained.
