Sonia: it’s agreement not deal

NEW DELHI: One of the things Congress President Sonia Gandhi told members of Parliament who met her here on Saturday was that the India-U.S. nuclear agreement should not be called a “deal.” It should be called an “agreement,” she told MPs.

A booklet printed by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting is entitled, “Facts About India’s Initiative For Seeking International Cooperation in Civil Nuclear Energy.”

It deals with issues such as ‘Independent Foreign Policy,’ ‘Energy Demands,’ ‘India-U.S. Agreement,’ and the ‘Safeguards Agreement with International Atomic Energy Agency.’

There are two sections on ‘Frequently Asked Questions’ on the pact, as well as on the safeguards agreement with the IAEA.
