"These acquisitions are in clear violation of the obligations, and commitments under the Non-Proliferation Treaty plus all related safeguard provisions of it,"</b> the party said.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Vote bank policies by Indian politicians are not only destroying India internally but are also inviting external entities to create havoc.
