India has made clear its "red lines" on seeking a waiver from the Nuclear Suppliers' Group and may have to backout from the nuclear deal with the US if they are not adhered to, a senior scientist said on Monday.
"We have made the red lines clear ... We might have to backout if the NSG countries do not agree," M R Srinivasan, member of the Atomic Energy Commission, told PTI.
Srinivasan said India has managed to convince NSG member-countries of the basis for the waiver and the larger countries are aware of the limit to which New Delhi [Images] can stretch.
"We have to wait and see till the meeting on September four-five," said Srinivasan, a former chairman of the AEC. He said the NSG has to take India's case seriously and expressed the hope that the 45-member grouping will favour the waiver proposed by the US.
