Just when it seemed that the SP was moving towards evolving a working relationship with the Congress, the government’s decision to refer the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Bill to the standing committee on science and technology — and not the one on energy headed by Mulayam Singh Yadav — has led to fresh heartburn between the two parties.
The government had sought Mulayam’s support in letting the contentious Bill being introduced in Lok Sabha on the last day of the Budget session on the assurance that he would anyhow have the opportunity to suggest changes in the Bill as it would be sent to the committee under him.
But the government seemed to have had a change of mind and, in a rude shock to the SP, decided to refer the proposed legislation to the standing committee on science and technology, headed by Congress MP T Subbarami Reddy. The passage of the Bill by Parliament is essential for operationalisation of the Indo-US civil nuclear cooperation agreement.
