New Delhi, September 6: BJP president Rajnath Singh alleged the UPA government has lost its moral right to continue in office after giving up the country's right to conduct future nuclear tests and power to develop minimum nuclear deterrence.

"India has lost the power to develop minimum nuclear deterrence after giving up its right to conduct nuclear tests. Hence there is no point in the government continuing in power," Singh said.

He said Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had promised the Parliament that India will not give up its right to conduct nuclear tests.

Expressing regret at the government refusal to set at rest questions raised by the BJP, Singh said, "Our MPs had raised certain apprehensions in Parliament but these were not answered. We have demanded convening of a special session of Parliament and the government should clear these apprehensions then.”

BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said the nuclear deal did not recognise India as a nuclear weapon state. "The conditionalities are not severe and stringent for nuclear weapon states," he said.
