Government on Monday asserted that India was not worried by decision of G-8 nations to curb transfer of some sensitive nuclear technology to non-NPT nations.
The statement from Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee came after Left parties and the BJP were seen on the same side in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha demanding a discussion on the key issue.
So far as the civil nuclear cooperation is concerned, the appropriate agency is IAEA and the 45-member NSG. We have got clean waiver from NSG. We are not deeply concerned (over G-8 declaration)...," Mukherjee told the Rajya Sabha.
He was External Affairs Minister when the Indo-US nuclear deal was signed.
In Lok Sabha, BJP Deputy Leader Sushma Swaraj said "we want a statement from the Prime Minister after a thorough discussion on the issue." Her colleague Murli Manohar Joshi remarked that the matter involved national sovereignty.
