Signature campaign in support of deal

Phagwara: Two NGOs have launched a signature campaign here in support of the Indo-US nuclear deal, which they say would place the country in the group of global powers.

Citizens Rights Forum, Phagwara, and Junior Chamber of India (JCI), while launching the campaign, said no politics should be done over the issue of nuclear deal.

“We were neither for nor against any political party,” the representatives of the NGOs said, adding, they were perturbed over the “continued pinpricks being given by a political coterie to the honest and dedicated Prime Minister Manmohan Singh” over the issue. The NGOs claimed that they have secured about 500 signatures in favour of the deal so far. PTI
