Don’t accept any change in N-deal, Yechury warns PM

Yechury said the US had now imposed a fresh condition that India could not re-use or reprocess the thorium extracted from the uranium.

‘‘The condition that India will not have the right to reprocess thorium as a fuel for our scientific purposes is clearly a deviation made by the US in the deal. If India accepts it, then we would wholly depend upon the US and work as per the terms laid down by the US,’’ he said.

The Prime Minister should have the ‘‘sense of the house’’ on any change in the parameters of the deal, he asserted.

Yechury also urged the Centre to immediately stop the purchase of weapons from Israel. ‘‘The buying of military equipment from Israel amounts to support for the killing of innocent people in Lebanon as a result of the war launched by Israel,’’ he said.
