The Indo-US civil nuclear deal is skewed in favour of the US, which wants to use India to contain China for its own purpose, while not giving it freedom to develop as a nuclear power independently, a former senior scientist said here today.
"China is growing as a major power and had to be contained. US needed the support of a stable and reliable regime in the Asian region for this purpose and so India appeared to be the best bet" said Dr B B Singh, who worked in Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) for four decades.
Singh was talking at the `Prajnya Manch'' - a think tank forum of Maharashtra BJP.
He said the Hyde Act 2006 and the India-specific 123 agreement draft is meant to serve the US interest because it does not want India to develop as a nuclear power independently.
He also said having realised that the sanctions against India, which were imposed after it had conducted nuclear tests were not effective, it found a different way to curb it.
Singh said the US also wants to monitor every nuclear activity of India through the Hyde Act.
This Act mandates the US President to keep congressional committees fully informed of almost all nuclear activities of India, including those relating to the amount of uranium mined and milled in India, Singh added.

USA will use you then lose you.
USA used China against USSR back then and when China's help was no longer needed USA treated her as the new enemy.
