Ahead of Modi's US visit, NYT says 'India's NSG membership not merited'

June 06, 2016 08:49

Even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi makes a final push for India's entry to the Nuclear Suppliers Group during his visit to the United States, the New York Times has published an editorial advocating No Exceptions for a Nuclear India.

The editorial says that India should be required to meet the NSGs standards, including opening negotiations with Pakistan and China on curbing nuclear weapons and halting the production of nuclear fuel for bombs.

The editorial reasons itself by arguing that India has not proved its willingness to take a leading role in halting the spread of nuclear weapons, but without substantiating this claim or suitably explaining why it feels that India is unwilling to play this role.
