New Delhi:
The Nuclear Liability Bill faced fresh roadblocks today with the BJP
and the Left parties asserting that they would oppose any dilution
of the suppliers' liability.
Both the BJP and the Left parties have apprehensions over an
amendment in the Bill which they feel protects foreign companies in
the event of a nuclear accident caused by gross negligence or
defective supplies on their part.
"We are very clear that the scope of Clause 17 (B) (relating to
suppliers' liability) cannot be diluted," BJP spokesperson Nirmala
Sitharaman said.
"We need that to be addressed and if it is being diluted by this
amendment which the government has cleared in the Cabinet, BJP will
stand up and object to it," she added.
The Left was categorical that it would not give its nod to such a
change in the text of the Civil Nuclear Bill.
Earlier in the last week, under
Opposition attack for trying to "dilute" the provisions of the
nuclear liability bill, Government on August 20 made certain
amendments to strengthen the proposed legislation which was approved
by the Union Cabinet, paving the way for its consideration by
Parliament.
The Cabinet, at a meeting chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh,
had approved almost all the key recommendations made by the
Parliamentary Standing Committee that examined the Civil Liability
for Nuclear Damage Bill, 2010.
Following this and support to the bill
extended by the BJP, the Government was sure to pass the bill after
the parliament was supposed to resume next week after a vacation
of3-days. However, with the fresh hurdles coming from the opposition
parties, the fate of the bill hangs again.
