Is US reconsidering India's UN Security Council bid?

     Islamabad: Applying the carrot and stick principle, the United States is believed to have told India that it may drop its opposition to New Delhi's bid for UNSC permanent seat, if the latter votes against Iran in next month's crucial IAEA resolution on Tehran's uranium enrichment programme. Pakistan, according to a report in The Nation, has expressed concern over this unexpected development. Diplomatic sources were quoted by the paper as saying that as a close ally of Washington in the global war on terror, Islamabad would be irritated by the move. Pakistan, which was an active member of the "Uniting for Consensus Group" in the United Nation had opposed increasing permanent seats of top world body. Pakistan will raise this issue soon with the United States on a plea that major shift in the policy of world sole super power would create an imbalance in the UNSC. The Bush Administration wants India to move away from the G-4 that presently includes Japan, Germany and Brazil and New Delhi, all of whom are UNSC permanent seat aspirants. India is to vote at the next IAEA meeting on November 24. If it choses to vote against Tehran, it could lead to a snapping of bilateral ties and a closer shift towards the U.S., say the sources.
