Once a fierce opponent to the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal inked during the previous Bush era, the Obama Administration's nuclear non-proliferation czar Ellen Tauscher is now in the forefront of US efforts to implement the landmark treaty between the two countries.
Tauscher, who now is leading US President Barack Obama's effort to have a nuclear weapons-free world and played a key role in this month's successful Nuclear Security Summit, said yesterday that her opposition to the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal is now a thing of the past.
The senior official, as a Democratic Congresswoman, had voted against the deal and in an op-ed in The New York Times had argued that it would kill the Nuclear-Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT).
"Well, Congresswoman Tauscher and Under Secretary Tauscher act by the same body but not in the same time. What I did in the Congress was one thing. And I will remind you that the - what - the resolution that I opposed passed. And I get quite used to accepting when things pass and letting them go on," Tauscher said when asked about the change in her stance on the Indo-US nuclear deal in less than two years
