IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
New Delhi, March 31, IRNA – New Delhi maintains that it would not sign the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in its present form, stressing that it would not stand in the way of the pact.
"India, which favours complete and verifiable disarmament, has held on to the position that the CTBT, in its present form, is faulty as it does not provide for dismantling of weapons of mass destruction truly in universal sense", said India's Foreign Secretary, Shivshankar Menon.
He made the remarks while talking to erporters in New Delhi who asked whether India would be signing the CTBT considering the US fresh efforts to push the treaty that has been hanging fire for over a decade.
