India has described as “rubbish” the charges made by an American non-proliferation lobby group that the country had violated nuclear export control and information security norms.
“These are the same sort of charges which were trotted out in 2006,” Foreign Secretary Shiv Shankar Menon said when asked about a recent report by the U.S.-based Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS). These charges were totally baseless, he said.
The ISIS alleged that India had leaked out sensitive centrifuge component design drawings as part of a tendering process for components initiated by India Rare Earths, an undertaking of the Department of Atomic Energy. It also charged the DAE with importing tributyl phosphate (TBP) — described as a “dual use chemical” used to separate plutonium — through “illicit” means.
The ISIS is run by David Albright, a prominent pre-war advocate of the Bush administration’s claims that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction.
