Mohan: From India Abroad: Vajpayee says India ready to sign "fair treaty". Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee has said that India is ready to sign any nondiscriminatory treaty aimed at banning nuclear tests and promoting non-proliferation and disarmament. Addressing the golden jubilee celebrations of the Atomic Energy Commission in Mumbai on Monday, Vajpayee said the restrictions imposed by some developed nations on the participation of Indian scientists in overseas conferences were "unjustifiable and futile as they are not going to discourage or dishearten India from the chosen path of research and development in the frontier areas of science." He asserted that India was committed to universal nuclear disarmament and world peace and had exercised its nuclear option for "national security reasons." But the country, he added, could not be party to the perpetration of an unfair and inequitable world-order promoted by the nuclear-club members, who were sitting on huge stockpiles of nuclear weapons and insisting on collective restraint from the rest of the world. U.S. to postpone joint-military exercises with Pakistan. The United States has decided to postpone indefinitely joint military exercises with Pakistan, unless Islamabad agrees to sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) and agrees to halt the production of fissile materials, according to the "Defense News." The weekly reported that orders to this effect were issued to the Pentagon by the White House and the State Department after a July 30 meeting chaired by Robert Fauver, coordinator of a special U.S. government action team on South Asia, directed the Pentagon to hold resumed military exercises as a reward for Islamabad's agreement to sign the CTBT.
