Take all parties into confidence on Iran resolution: BJP

New Delhi, Nov 28 (PTI) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP),
the main opposition party in India, Saturday termed as
"sensitive" the issue of the IAEA resolution against covert
enrichment of uranium by Iran and insisted that government
should take all parties into confidence on the censure, which
was supported by India.
"India's relations with Iran go a long way but this
decision has been taken under new and changed circumstances.
This is a sensitive matter involving India's diplomatic
interests. The government should take all political parties
into confidence on the issue," BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar
Prasad said.
India, along with the US, Britain, France, Germany,
Russia and China, voted in favour of the new resolution
against Iran's nuclear programme and demanded that it suspends
the construction of its uranium enrichment plant at Qom -- a
site kept secret until recently.
It was revealed by International Atomic Energy Agency
(IAEA) in September that Iran had been secretly building a
second uranium enrichment plant at Fordo, near the holy city
of Qom, for the last two years.
The resolution was moved at the meeting of Board of
Governors of IAEA in Vienna Friday.
Though India supported the resolution, it said its
passage cannot be the basis of a "renewed punitive approach or
new sanctions" against Iran. PTI
