In a detailed intervention in Parliament, Congress MP Manish Tewari strongly opposes the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill, 2025, raising serious constitutional, safety, and policy concerns. The speech traces India’s nuclear history from Nehru and Homi Bhabha to Pokhran and the Indo-US nuclear deal, while questioning the repeal of the Atomic Energy Act, 1962 and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010. Key objections include removal of supplier liability, caps on compensation, lack of an independent regulator, radioactive waste disposal, private and foreign participation, and dilution of India’s thorium-based nuclear roadmap. The speaker urges that the bill be sent to a Joint Parliamentary Committee for thorough scrutiny.
