The Government will not accept a waiver from the Nuclear Suppliers Group's rules to formally conclude the India-US nuclear deal if the "red lines" set by India are crossed by the 45-nation grouping, National Security Adviser MK Narayanan said here on Saturday. He said no changes would be accepted even if they were "cosmetic" in nature.
Narayanan was speaking to Karan Thapar on his television programme, Devil's Advocate. His comments came ahead of the second meeting of the NSG in Geneva on September 4.
The first meeting was held on August21-22, when some NSG member-countries demanded strict non-proliferation conditions be imposed on India and moved 50 amendments to the draft waiver. If this were to happen, it would not be a 'clean and unconditional waiver', as had been promised by the US and committed by the Prime Minister
