From my understanding, this NSG membership is meant to help India export it's nuclear tech to NPT members, if this is the case, I question the need for India trying to become a member of NSG.
We already have a NSG waiver, we are already getting nuclear tech and raw materials from our allies, we are already getting whatever we want with the waiver, in what other way this membership will prove beneficial to India?
The only thing that we don't have is the right to export our nuclear tech to other countries, and this NSG membership is meant to fix that.
Let's be realistic here, how much India will be able to export by becoming NSG member?
There are already Europeans,Americans, south Koreans, Russians, Japanese with vast more expertise and quality porduction in building Nuclear power plants than we have. What chances do we have in winning contracts in next few years over the already established nuclear powers? I don't see much.....
I actually want the present situation to continue..
Let's build nuclear power plants what we have signed with french and Russians in coming years, let's exponentially increase our production capability while strictly adhering to the conditions set in NSG waiver. And within few years, the situation will turn more in India's favors as more countries will get involved in building power plants in India. And there will be more acceptance of India at NSG while in case of Pakistan, except Chinese, none will be setting their foot inside Pakistan.
the number of countries who will endorse Pakistan's membership at NSG will not be more than those who oppose India's membership. Pakistan won't have a wide scale backing at NSG.
Pakistan making attempts to gain entry into NSG is not a well thought out strategy but a butt-hurt response to gain equal status to India.
NSG can never accept Pakistan nor will ever grant membership to Pakistan first without accepting India as a member.
Typical Islami mentality. Na hilaunga, Na hilane dunga.India won’t be able to join NSG alone, claims Aziz
ISLAMABAD: Adviser to the Prime Minister on Foreign Affairs Sartaj Aziz claimed on Monday that the government’s “active and successful foreign policy” had blocked India’s entry into the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) and that New Delhi would not be able to join the group alone.
“We have been successful in preventing India from gaining access to the NSG and I am hopeful that whenever it happens, we will both join it together and India will not be able to join the NSG alone,” Mr Aziz said while winding up a debate in the Senate on an adjournment motion regarding the agreement signed by India, Iran and Afghanistan for the development of the Chabahar Port and its impact on Pakistan, particularly on the Gwadar Port.
Mr Aziz said that in the last week’s meeting at Vienna (Austria), member states of the NSG had accepted Pakistan’s viewpoint and expressed the hope that India would not be able to join the group when members would hold another meeting in Seoul later this month.
He said that he had recently approached a number of countries, including Russia, Mexico, South Korea and New Zealand, and many countries had supported Islamabad’s viewpoint that there should be a criteria-based approach while deciding about inclusion of any country into the NSG.
Responding to concerns of senators over development of the Chabahar Port in Iran with the help of India, Mr Aziz said that Pakistan had already signed an MoU (Memorandum of Understanding) for sister-port relations between the Chabahar and Gwadar Ports. Moreover, he said, a proposal to build a rail link between the two ports was also under consideration.
The adviser was of the view that to improve connectivity in the region, more than one port was required.
“The Gwadar and Chabahar ports are needed and they are complimentary,” he said, adding that since Gwadar was a deep port, its utility would be greater than that of the Chabahar Port.
The adviser also briefed members on a number of ongoing projects to improve connectivity in the region through establishing road and rail links between Pakistan and Central Asian states and other neighbouring countries. He said that the government was also taking steps to improve facilities for effective implementation of the Afghan Transit Trade Agreement.
After providing details of the ongoing projects, including the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), the adviser said that “the general impression that we are either getting isolated or losing momentum is not correct”.
He said that after lifting of sanctions against Iran, Pakistan had intensified its efforts on Iran-Pakistan Gas Pipeline Project and in improving bilateral economic and trade relations.
The adviser said the US shift of policy towards India was because of Washington’s policy to contain China. Moreover, he said, this shift was not sudden and it started after 9/11.
Mr Aziz said that the address of Indian Prime Minister Narendera Modi to the US Congress was directed against Pakistan, adding that India was complaining about non-state actors whereas Pakistan had prepared a dossier containing evidence of activities of Indian intelligence agency RAW in Balochistan and other parts of the country.
Earlier, taking part in the discussion on an adjournment motion moved by Mian Ateeq of the MQM, senators urged the government to develop and improve infrastructure at the Gwadar Port so that it could compete with the Chabahar Port effectively.
PPP’s Farhatullah Babar said that Pakistan’s isolation was rooted more in its unrealistic foreign policy goals and objectives than in anything else.
“Frustration and isolation will result when we insist on projecting state power under nuclear umbrella without regard to limitations of our true national power and problems of militancy, extremism, sectarianism and economic weaknesses,” he added.
Mr Babar said the state narrative on the killing of Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mansour and “our growing isolation is described in terms of attack on sovereignty and corruption in Nadra and international conspiracies against us”.
He said that in the wake of Mansour’s killing, “instead of stock-taking we again raised the Jihadi banner”.
“The nearly 20,000 security cameras in the federal capital failed to notice the proscribed Jamaatud Dawa leaders supposedly banned under the National Action Plan descending on Islamabad and reviving the Jihadi project,” he said in his apparent reference to a rally organised by the group last week to protest against growing US-India relations.
He was of the view that Chabahar was not a threat to Pakistan as long as Pakistan seriously worked on completing the CPEC.
The PML-Q’s Mushahid Hussain said that the Indian prime minister’s policy was clear that he wanted to “isolate and encircle Pakistan”.

Don't drag religion into this. It's all politics and nothing else.Typical Islami mentality. Na hilaunga, Na hilane dunga.
You are right but I can't ignore the fact that PA, media, civilians there see India primarily as a Hindu India and Indian army as a Hindu army; makes it religious.Don't drag religion into this. It's all politics and nothing else.
India and Pakistan are adversaries and have a history of mistrust. Where ever India gets first, she will try to block our entry hence it's important for both China and Pakistan to oppose India. Again, religion has nothing to do with it.You are right but I can't ignore the fact that PA, media, civilians there see India primarily as a Hindu India and Indian army as a Hindu army; makes it religious.
I'm pretty sure that if India was a muslim country, pakistan wouldn't have objected to its membership in NSG.
Where and why did they become adversaries? Where & why did the mistrust happen? Isn't everything is pakistan highly islamised? Right from home education to madarsas to history to media to newspapers. Everything there is pro islam and anti hindu.India and Pakistan are adversaries and have a history of mistrust.
Yes, religion has everything to do with it.Again, religion has nothing to do with it.
You didn't respond to my questions in that other thread. You speak of mistrust, then explain the causes and solutions unless you don't wan't one. If not for excuse of religion, what else was there to make foe of each other? You don't go beyond putting all responsibility on US .Don't drag religion into this. It's all politics and nothing else.
Sorry I must have missed that post..........................................You didn't respond to my questions in that other thread.

Look who is saying not to bring religion in? Those who see everything from the green glass is advising others not to bring religion in.Don't drag religion into this. It's all politics and nothing else.

We had same history unless mindless religious extremists and British animals divided our country.India and Pakistan are adversaries and have a history of mistrust.
As far as China is concerned, they are emerging as a major force ahead of US and they don't want any other emerging force as obstacle in their path in near or far future. Plus India is closer to US and Japan than China strategically.Where ever India gets first, she will try to block our entry hence it's important for both China and Pakistan to oppose India.
In that case, there's no meaning of Pakistan. Remember, Pakistani ideology is based on Pam Islamism among Indian Muslims (which already defied by Indian Muslims and Bangladeshis).Again, religion has nothing to do with it.
As if China follows NPT even after signing. LOL.someone should learn more about the world and its rules...lol...

Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Hong Lei's Remarks on Issues Related to Enlargement of NSG
2016/06/12
Q: According to diplomatic sources, China, New Zealand, Ireland, Turkey, South Africa and Austria object to India’s accession to the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG). There are people saying that India’s admission will undermine the non-proliferation efforts and is likely to infuriate Pakistan. What is China’s comment?
A: The NSG Chair Argentine Ambassador convened an unofficial meeting on June 9. There was no deliberation on any items related to the accession to the NSG by India or any other countries that are not signatories to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT). The Chair said that this meeting has no agenda and is only convened to heed opinions from all parties on the outreach of the NSG and prepare for a report to be submitted at the NSG Plenary Meeting in Seoul later this month.
China has noted that some non-NPT countries aspire to join the NSG. When it comes to the accession by non-NPT countries, China maintains that the group should have full discussion before forging consensus and making decisions based on agreement. The NPT provides a political and legal foundation for the international non-proliferation regime as a whole. China’s position applies to all non-NPT countries and targets no one in particular. The fact is that many countries within the group also share China’s stance.
There has been some discussion within the group on the NSG membership of non-NPT countries, but NSG members remain divided on this issue. Looking forward, China will continue to support further discussion within the group to forge consensus at an early date. China will proceed with relevant discussion in a constructive manner.
