NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has called for an emergency meeting at 8.30 pm to discuss the nuclear deal issue after the US made it clear that its assurances of nuclear fuel supplies to India are not meant to "insulate" it against the consequences of a nuclear test. The govt has also recalled Atomic Energy Development (AED) chairman Anil Kakodkar who was representing India in Vienna.
A day ahead of the meeting of the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group(NSG) in Vienna where the fate of the controversial Indo-US nuclear deal is expected to be decided, the Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee Howard Berman released State Department's anwsers to 45 questions on the deal which indicate clearly differing perceptions on key issues between New Delhi and Washington.
The questions were submitted to the State Department by Berman's predecessor Tom Lantos way back in October last year and answers were sent on January 16 this year. For nine months, these documents were kept under wraps and have been made public just before the Vienna meeting.
