PM's US visit: Talking straight with Obama - Economic Times

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s week-long visit to US and Brazil would have been a talking point last week had it not been completely buried by the war of words between IPL commissioner Lalit Modi and junior external affairs minister Shashi Tharoor in all major platforms including twitter and television. No wonder, political gossips and action outside Parliament candidly ignored PM’s high profile US visit or post-Naxal massacre deliberations, as Tharoor’s friend from Kashmir, sweet equity in IPL franchise, and tax hounds’ surveys in IPL boss’ Mumbai office stole the limelight.

Yet, Mr Singh’s tough talk against nuclear proliferators without naming Pakistan’s AQ Khan network and the need for India’s proactive role in Afghanistan were well conveyed to president Barack Obama as US administration has quite overtly begun to over-engage Pakistan in its Afghan affairs while curbing India’s role in that conflict zone. For India, it was not a cakewalk to convince the world leaders gathered at the nuclear security summit about India’s continued stand on not toeing the NPT (Nuclear Non-Proliferation) line. Yet, Dr Singh quite forcefully placed the facts and figures to establish India’s nuclear safety-cum-security records and its ambitious plans to use nuclear energy for its growing energy needs. PM underlined how the challenge today is not of industry’s nuclear safety, but ensuring nuke security.

Dr Singh conveyed a clear-cut message to the world leaders that NPT regime has failed, and what’s needed urgently is a concerted attempt to eliminate the risk of sensitive materials and technologies falling into hands of terrorists and illicit traffickers. “There should be zero tolerance for individuals and groups which engage in illegal trafficking in nuclear items”, PM said in his speech.
