The UPA government on Friday insisted that the country's "sovereign" interests, including in strategic nuclear field, were protected in the IAEA safeguards agreement and expressed confidence about getting an exemption from the Nuclear Suppliers Group.This should put all skeptics of the deal to rest. India is a nuclear weapon state and it would fully protect its interest from external interference. As such there is no danger to India's nuclear programme from the text of IAEA. It is committed to continuous supply of nuclear fuel to all civil nuclear reactors. In the event of any disruption,the chances are remote,it would take "corrective" measures including legal action to ensure continuous supply. There is no need to panic on this score as after the agreement, the NSG countries would ensure proper and timely supply to India.The only regret is India should have taken steps much earlier unmindful of the threat held out by the Left. Had this been done before, India would have sailed through the deal with the present Congress passing it in USA. Now that not enough time is left for the Congress to pass the 123 Agreement, India can be satisfied with the approval by Board of Governors of IAEA and thereby NSG granting necessary exemption. NSG comprises of 45 countries, it has enough scope to negotiate with them to ensure uninterrupted supply even during the crisis period for India. In the bargain India would be benefited much. Let UPA pass the trust vote and it would become easy
