Six countries say they are pressurised

Vienna: Six countries opposed to a "clean waiver" for India have complained that they were under pressure to seek a compromise at the forthcoming meeting of the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) here.

"We are under pressure to agree to an acceptable compromise at the September 4-5 meeting," a diplomat from one of the six countries opposed to a "clean waiver" for India said on condition of anonymity

Indian and US officials are planning to talk jointly to NSG members ahead of tomorrow's crucial meeting that would decide whether the group's existing ban should be lifted to start nuclear commerce with India.
