New tactics-Is this an effective policy,seems like it.Any comments?? ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Wednesday May 27 10:52 AM EDT India ready to discuss 'no first use' pact NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India said Wednesday it was ready to discuss a "no first use" agreement on nuclear weapons with Pakistan and other countries bilaterally or collectively. A government paper on nuclear policy presented by Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee to parliament said: "The government on this occasion reiterates its readiness to discuss a no first use agreement with that country (Pakistan), as also with other countries bilaterally, or in a collective forum." The government paper reiterated that India was a nuclear weapons state and "this is a reality that cannot be denied" but added: "India, mindful of its international obligations, shall not use these weapons to commit aggression or to mount threats against any country, these are weapons of self-defense and to ensure that in turn India is not subjected to nuclear threats or coercion." In a separate statement Vajpayee told the lower house of parliament: "We have been and will continue to be in the forefront of the calls for opening negotiations for a Nuclear Weapons Convention, so that this challenge can be dealt with in the same manner that we have dealt with the scourge of two other weapons of mass destruction -- through the Biological Weapons Convention and the Chemical Weapons Convention." Vajpayee said his government had already announced a moratorium on further underground nuclear tests. "We have also indicated willingness to move toward a de-jure formalization of this declaration," he added.
