At least Shyam Saran has woken up after 7 years. Good.
Hope the veil has also dropped from his eyes regarding his junior, Jaishankar, who is still assiduously enabling Modi?

But his analysis is flawed. While India may have ‘never faltered’ in REJECTING the #NPT on principles, it accepted it de facto once it went ahead with the Indo-US nuclear deal. Had to. 2005 IAEA vote. Saran led @MEAIndia
US accused Iran of violating #NPT n wanted Indian ‘yes’.

The same #NPT that not only is India NOT a part of, but as per Saran now, India ‘never faltered’ to ‘reject.’ N Saran was claiming he was averting a crisis for Iran! Like, India knows Iran’s interest better than Iran itself!!

Once India had crossed that Rubicon, abandoned its principles, joined the US hegemony of the world, there was no turning back.
It is this vote that later led to the next vote in 2009 n sanctions on Iran, contrary to US/UK/France assurances to India.
Shyam Saran is equivocating.

The difference is, India abandoned India for the US then. Saran accuses India now of abandoning India for China. Reeks of bias, as he is not objecting to India abandoning India, per se.
Like Murder in the Orient Express, India has murdered the India we love. Why just blame Modi?

Since the nuclear deal, India has abandoned many principles. One ‘basic tenet of Indian foreign policy’, Saran claimed in China, was nuclear disarmament. mea.gov.in/Speeches-State…
India now pays less than lip service to it, dreaming of a seat as an equal at the UN Security Council.

A ridiculous goal for a poor country that can’t handle India abandoning India in favour of some other country yet, n suffers from ‘dictator envy’. 🙄
Make no mistake. The civil nuclear deal is the death of ‘India’. This I can aver as someone who covered it closely at the time.
