I always believe CPI(M) gives lot of perspectives in N-deal matters & it is in the interest of the country.
1) NSG exemption rules should ensure India to develop its strategic N-fuel reserve to supply for lifetime of reactors in case US is constrained due to its domestic laws. If US tries to confuse this with Hyde act, Govt should simply go with own R&D with private players.
2) Return clause says US will retrieve back all equipments they supplied in the event of N-Test & other critical national interests with 1 year notice period. Obviously, it will hurt US business interests as India will try to minimize US materials whereever possible. If NSG rules limit dealing of other countries like Hyde Act & then there is no sense to go ahead with N-Deal.
If NSG rules are of like Hyde Act, they closed all the door for India's energy security guarntee.
West shall maximum expect tight proliferation control on India; Anything beyond this, will have the potential of intrusion of Hyde Act/NSG rules inwhich India has to make careful thoughts.
