Not a Modi breakthrough, Australia's ruling party approved uranium sales to India in 2011: Congress
Congress disputes BJP's uranium sales claim, citing prior approvals. Julia Gillard secured party approval for uranium sales to India in 2011. This followed the 2008 India-US Nuclear Cooperation Agreement, which BJP opposed. India and Australia recently sealed pacts on civil nuclear energy and defense. These agreements reinforce the bilateral partnership for a peaceful Indo-Pacific region.
