P. Chidambaram says Hyde Act not binding on India
On the second day of the debate in the Lok Sabha over the Government’s trust vote, Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said that the Hyde Act, passed by the US Congress to enable nuclear commerce with India, was a domestic law in that country and had no binding on India.
Chidambaram also stressed the need for nuclear power.
He said the provisions of the 123 Agreement will alone prevail in regard to the Indo-US nuclear agreement and that the government went to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) after an agreement with the Left parties and froze the text.
He added that the Government did nothing to violate this agreement and the text of the draft safeguards agreement was promised to be given to parties the day India approached the International Atomic Energy Agency.
