PM leaves it to history, BJP sees victory ‘Intent’ out, nuclear bill sails through

The Telegraph - Calcutta (Kolkata) | Nation | PM leaves it to history, BJP sees victory ‘Intent’ out, nuclear bill sails through: "The Lok Sabha today passed the nuclear liability bill after the government accommodated the BJP’s concerns"

.....In a rare parliamentary spectacle of recent times, minister of state for science and technology profusely thanked the Opposition for co-operation and Leader of the House Pranab Mukherjee walked across to the BJP benches for expressing the government’s gratitude. Although the government had sorted out the differences much in advance, the last thorn — an eleventh-hour insertion that talked about the supplier’s “intent” to cause nuclear damage — was removed by science and technology minister Prithviraj Chavan on the floor of the House. He did not move the related amendment (no 13) and replaced it with the one the BJP had suggested.
