To the President of India, the Prime Minister of India, the Home Minister of India, and the Chief Justice of India,
Please see the attached affidavit filed by me in the Delhi High Court in W.P. (Civil) 1280/ 2012.
Along with this affidavit as Annexure P-2, I have filed true copies of two cables sent by the US Embassy in India that describe private non-official discussions and meetings between Montek Singh Ahluwalia and the US Ambassador and other US Embassy and US government officials.
This cables (which constitute only the tip of the iceberg of evidence against Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia) establish that Montek Singh Ahluwalia is a lobbyist for US interests in India and that he has by wrongfully sharing information with the US Embassy and US Government, violated Section 5 of the Official Secrets Act which is attached.
Not only does Montek Singh Ahluwalia disclose information to US officials in violation of Section 5 of the Official Secrets Act, he also presents himself as an interlocuter and lobbyist for pushing through US interests within the Indian governmental process, and he even advises US officials/ government on how best to achieve US goals
within the Indian governmental process. Montek Singh Ahluwalia is therefore misusing his official position within the Government of India to unofficially help and assist the United States government in achieving/ securing US strategic and commercial interests in Indian governmental decision making. Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia is in these cables described as advising the US government on how to gain an upper hand over Indian bureaucrats and ministers and Indian governmental processes, and in one instance advising on how US educational businesses can break Indian law.
These cables establish that Montek Singh Ahluwalia advises the United States Government against Indian strategic interests in diplomacy and state-to-state relations. This would makes Montek Singh Ahluwalia a
traitor guilty of treason.
This basically means that Montek Singh Ahluwalia is a spy acting for the United States government. That Montek Singh Ahluwalia is a CIA agent/ asset has been publicly articulated by several eminent Indians.
Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia must be investigated and prosecuted for violation of Section 5 of the Official Secrets Act and the two cables in the attached Annexure P-2 provide sufficient evidence of this, though additional evidence against Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia can be easily gathered.

To the President of India, the Prime Minister of India, the Home Minister of India, and the Chief Justice of India,
Please see the attached affidavit filed by me in the Delhi High Court in W.P. (Civil) 1280/ 2012.
Along with this affidavit as Annexure P-2, I have filed true copies of two cables sent by the US Embassy in India that describe private non-official discussions and meetings between Montek Singh Ahluwalia and the US Ambassador and other US Embassy and US government officials.
This cables (which constitute only the tip of the iceberg of evidence against Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia) establish that Montek Singh Ahluwalia is a lobbyist for US interests in India and that he has by wrongfully sharing information with the US Embassy and US Government, violated Section 5 of the Official Secrets Act which is attached.
Not only does Montek Singh Ahluwalia disclose information to US officials in violation of Section 5 of the Official Secrets Act, he also presents himself as an interlocuter and lobbyist for pushing through US interests within the Indian governmental process, and he even advises US officials/ government on how best to achieve US goals
within the Indian governmental process. Montek Singh Ahluwalia is therefore misusing his official position within the Government of India to unofficially help and assist the United States government in achieving/ securing US strategic and commercial interests in Indian governmental decision making. Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia is in these cables described as advising the US government on how to gain an upper hand over Indian bureaucrats and ministers and Indian governmental processes, and in one instance advising on how US educational businesses can break Indian law.
These cables establish that Montek Singh Ahluwalia advises the United States Government against Indian strategic interests in diplomacy and state-to-state relations. This would makes Montek Singh Ahluwalia a
traitor guilty of treason.
This basically means that Montek Singh Ahluwalia is a spy acting for the United States government. That Montek Singh Ahluwalia is a CIA agent/ asset has been publicly articulated by several eminent Indians.
Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia must be investigated and prosecuted for violation of Section 5 of the Official Secrets Act and the two cables in the attached Annexure P-2 provide sufficient evidence of this, though additional evidence against Mr Montek Singh Ahluwalia can be easily gathered.
Seema Sapra

PLANNING COMMISSION DEPUTY CHAIRMAN AHLUWALIA NEW DELHI 00004272 001.2 OF 002 ¶1. (SBU) Summary: The Ambassador met September
14 with Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Ahluwalia to discuss the
upcoming CEO Forum, mid-October visit to India by Energy Deputy Secretary
Sell for the APP and Energy Dialogue, and the end of October visit by Treasury
Secretary Paulson and NEC Director Hubbard. Ambassador also urged GOI
resolution of the outstanding legacy issues of McDermott and Dow Chemical. End
Summary. ¶2. (SBU) The Ambassador noted that the CEO
Forum was unique in that it was one of the few private sector forums that
attracted great interest and attendance from senior government officials. It
was therefore important that the September 24 discussion focus on critical
issues including infrastructure financing and the impact of inadequate IPR
protection on foreign investment in India that has lead to the recent decision
by the Swiss pharmaceutical company, Novartis, to pull out of India after its
latest patent application was denied. Ahluwalia agreed and said that he hoped
the U.S.-India civil nuclear agreement would not be on the agenda since the
ball was in India 's
court to move forward in a process well known to everyone. Ambassador noted
that, at some point, prospects for U.S.
private sector investment in India 's
civil nuclear industry would be an appropriate discussion topic at the CEO
Forum, but not until the Agreement had been operationalized. Ahluwalia said
that he would discuss with Foreign Secretary Menon keeping the civil nuclear
agreement off the agenda, and Ambassador said that he would take it up with
Under Secretary Burns. ¶3. (SBU) The Ambassador said that it might be
useful to repeat the formula used in last year's successful CEO Forum by using
the lunch to follow up on important economic issues previously raised in the
morning meeting, and avoid topics like civil nuclear and the Doha Round that
will accomplish little in the short time available. Ahluwalia agreed and said
that CII and the Ministry of External Affairs had been discussing with State
and the NSC the idea of moving from one large rectangular table to several
round tables that would group CEOs and government officials according to their
interest in particular issues/topics. Ahluwalia added that the GOI intended to
present a 14 point non-paper on progress made and remaining/new issues that
could be useful for discussion and follow up after the meeting. Ahluwalia said
that Hubbard in a recent phone conversation said that the U.S. also
intended to raise agricultural/phyto-sanitary concerns. ¶4. (SBU) The Ambassador said that the October
29-30 visit of Treasury Secretary Paulson to India presented a great opportunity
to focus on creating a climate of finance for infrastructure. He added that
Paulson and his team will bring great knowledge and experience on financial
market supervision, regulatory issues, securitization, debt, and other key
areas. Ahluwalia said that he will be joining the Ambassador in the October 29
Infrastructure Conference in Mumbai that Paulson and Indian Finance Minister
Chidambaram will open. Ahluwalia noted that it would be helpful if there was
some movement on U.S.
approval of ICICI's and Bank of India's long-pending U.S. bank branch
applications. He added that there was a lot of irritation in MOF over this
issue, especially since Secretary Paulson had told Chidambaram a year ago that
there would be action. Despite the lack of progress, Ahluwalia noted that MOF
had recently approved three new branches in India for Citibank. Ambassador
responded that the delay was not due to protectionism on the U.S. part, but because of regulatory issues that
required India 's
establishment of an anti-money laundering/terrorist financing regime (AML/CTF)
that meets international standards. The Ambassador noted that India had
joined the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) as an observer with the goal of
full membership, which was a welcome step. Ahluwalia asked for a one page note
on outstanding issues related to AML/CTF that he could discuss with Chidambaram
before the CEO Forum. ¶5. (SBU) The Ambassador said that Deputy
Secretary of Energy Clay Sells will visit India in mid-October for the Asia
Partnership Program (APP) summit and the U.S.-India Energy Dialogue. He added
that Secretary Rice is also considering coming out for the APP. ¶6. (SBU) Aluwalia asked what the key deadlines
are for NEW DELHI
00004272 002.2 OF 002 operationalizing the Civil Nuclear Agreement. The
Ambassador said that there can be no Congressional vote until India has
reached agreement first with the IAEA, then the NSG. Given the 90 day
Congressional review requirement before a vote is possible, India would
have to conclude the first two steps by December in order to get a vote in
Congress by the end of February. After that, getting it on the Congressional
calendar next year would be much more difficult. Ambassador added that the U.S. has been
very quiet publicly on the Agreement since July in order to avoid
"stirring things up" for the GOI as it deals with political debate
here. Ahluwalia said that the issue in India is who will blink first,
Congress or the Left. For the Left, it is clear the issue is not the 123
Agreement, but the deepening U.S.-India relationship which they vehemently
oppose. Ahluwalia said that there are two possibilities if Congress calls the
Left's bluff: it could continue as a minority government until calling for
elections, or the Left could join with the BJP in bringing down the government,
leading to elections. In either case, Ahluwalia said the Government is
presently in a good political position to go into elections, but it would be
better to go to the polls on issues other than the 123 Agreement. ¶7. (SBU) Returning to the CEO Forum, the
Ambassador said that McDermott International CEO Nesbitt will be attending and
there are reports that the GOI may announce at the Forum that it is taking
steps to finally resolve this long outstanding legacy issue. Ambassador
cautioned that any action that fell short of expeditiously settling in full the
Supreme Court Judgment in favor of McDermott, such as a partial payment through
the bankruptcy proceedings, will go down badly and create major ill feelings in
the U.S.
business community. The Ambassador also cited the GOI's continued third party
claims against Dow Chemical in the ongoing Bhopal land reclamation lawsuit as a
further impediment by Dow and others to invest in India, and he asked that the
GOI drop its claims against Dow. Ahluwalia took the Ambassador's points on
McDermott, noting the importance of finally putting the issue to rest. On Dow,
he said that the GOI does not understand Dow's concern about future civil or
criminal liability since the GOI third-party claims do not suggest a GOI
presumption that Dow is responsible for the cleanup. The GOI's problem is that
the NGOs are very active and vocal in this case, and it is very difficult for
the Government to now drop its claims against Dow. The GOI was hoping for a
quick resolution of the case which would have settled the issue, but Dow prevented
this by asking for a stay in the proceedings. Ahluwalia noted that the issue of
whether a company like Dow can be held liable for the actions of another
company solely on the basis of acquiring that company after the culpable
activity occurred is an important and novel legal issue in India that
needs to be resolved. Ahluwalia recommended that the Ambassador discuss the
issue with Finance Minister Chidambaram - a noted jurist. ¶8. (SBU) Ambassador again stressed the
importance of the financial sector in upcoming U.S.-India discussions, noting
that a central economic issue for India is the long-term status of
its financial markets. He added that India 's
financial markets today have the makings for a regional financial center, given
India 's huge hinterland and
large and increasing savings rates that mirror the conditions in the U.S. banking
sector a generation ago. The Ambassador said that virtually all large U.S. banks were
once domestic-centered, before they went global. Ahluwalia agreed, noting that
the GOI (with MOF and Prime Minister approval) had just commissioned a High
Level Committee on Financial Sector Reforms, composed mostly of private sector
individuals, to make recommendations by next March on next steps in financial
sector reform. He added that, until India
ends the dominance of the State in the banking sector, there will never be a
level playing field for private or foreign banks that is necessary if India is to
establish itself as a regional financial center. MULFORD

AMBASSADOR MEETS WITH MONTEK SINGH AHLUWALIA 1. (C) Summary. Ambassador met
with Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia on September 2
to discuss upcoming high level bilateral meetings, including the President-Prime
Minister meeting on September 25 and the CEO Forum scheduled for October 14. In
addition, the Ambassador provided an update to Ahluwalia on the August 22-23
Nuclear Suppliers Group meeting in Vienna and his outlook for the second
meeting scheduled for September 4-5. End summary. AMBASSADOR REVIEWS NSG
DEVELOPMENTS ----------------------------------- ¶2. (C) First, Ambassador Mulford provided
Ahluwalia an update on events at the August 21-22 Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG)
Plenary in Vienna .
The Ambassador expressed disappointment and shock at the positions that many of
the NSG members took. USG officials had engaged with the NSG members in the
lead-up to the Plenary and the members had signaled that they were
"supportive" but had "concerns." The Ambassador then noted
that NSG members submitted over 60 amendments in the Vienna
meeting to the draft NSG exception that the U.S. had submitted. Ambassador
Mulford observed that the surprising number of substantial amendments nearly
amounted to a question of good faith, with key NSG members' non-proliferation
advocates allowed the upper hand. ¶3. (C) The Ambassador described to Ahluwalia
how the meeting in Vienna
had 400 people ) minus the Indian delegation that had to remain outside ) with
all the chairs facing forward toward the Chairman's desk, in a configuration that
discouraged debate and enabled NSG members to offer tough amendments
semi-anonymously. Ambassador Mulford also explained to Ahluwalia that in the
briefing with the Indian delegation ) primarily Foreign Secretary Meno and
Special Envoy Shyan Saran ) during a scheduled break in the NSG Plenary, the
Indian side solicited questions from the NSG members. None were offered. US
representative John Rood also encouraged the participants to utilize the
opportunity to ask questions of the Indian delegation, but no one did. Looking
Forward --------------- ¶4. (C) The Ambassador then considered the next
steps. He noted that India
and the US have negotiated a
"clean" text, but that he anticipates it will be an extremely hard
sell in the next NSG meeting in Vienna
on September 4-5. Ambassador Mulford assured Ahluwalia that the US goal was to
try to keep the text "sacrosanct," with NSG member concerns limited
to comments in the Chairman's Summary. The Ambassador identified several text
changes that he thought would be unacceptable: the
"multilateralization" of the Hyde Act, and any language that demanded
automatic sanctions in response to further nuclear testing. Whether it would be
possible to avoid such language, Mulford didn't know. ¶5. (C) Secretary Rice had asked the Ambassador
to stay in Delhi
during the September 4-5 Vienna Plenary to engage the GoI if needed. Mulford
noted that National Security Advisor Narayanan had spoken with him that day and
was not happy to learn that the Ambassador would not be in Vienna to help move the deal through. Mulford
observed that one of the problems with the NSG meetings was the
representational mode )- that NSG members had designated their
non-proliferation advocates as participants at the Plenary rather than senior
political representatives who could see the big picture at stake. The big issue
for the NSG was whether the international nonproliferation system would be
stronger with India
on the inside. The US
delegation on September 4-5 would be led by State Department Under Secretary
for Political Affairs Bill Burns, which added weight to the meeting. ¶6. (C) Ambassador Mulford apprised Ahluwalia of
his discussions with the "Group of Six" like-minded country members
of the NSG ) Austria , Ireland , New
Zealand , Netherlands ,
Norway and Switzerland ) as well as with Canada and Japan . The Ambassador explained
that they needed to realize the importance of the NSG exception to India . The
Ambassador had pointed out to them that any country that blocks the NSG waiver
should understand that its relationship with India would not be able to meet
its maximum potential as India was likely to start a blame game, should the NSG
NEW DELHI 00002367 002 OF 005 exception not go through. Ahluwalia agreed that
political pressure was needed to keep the focus on the big picture. To that
end, Ambassador Mulford pointed out, President Bush and Secretary Rice were
making calls to the leadership of these countries; however, the
non-proliferation issues were often emotive for some countries. Some of the NSG
representatives in Vienna had never been to India and had
an outdated view of the country and the world today. ¶7. (C) Mulford pointed to the substantial
reductions in carbon-based emissions that would result from India ,s access to nuclear energy
made possible by the civil nuclear initiative. The Ambassador referenced an
estimate that the amount of coal substituted with nuclear energy in India over
the next twenty years was equivalent to half the amount of emissions from the
state of California and more than all of the EU25 emission cuts combined (Note:
according to a study by David Victor published by the Council on Foreign
Relations, July 18, 2006. End note). Ahluwalia responded that India,s lead
nuclear scientist, Department of Atomic Energy Chairman Dr. Anil Kakodkar, had
projected that by 2050 India's access to uranium through the civil nuclear
cooperation initiative would treble the amount of uranium India could process
and use toward nuclear energy, going from the equivalent of 200,000 MW of power
to 600,000 MW of power. But, Ahluwalia questioned, do the nonproliferation
people care? The Ambassador responded that they apparently did not, since they
went so far as to request that the statements in the NSG waiver text referring
to the energy benefits of the deal be removed. ¶8. (C) Ahluwalia opined that keeping the
language on energy benefits in the text was useful, if not to the NSG members,
then to a larger audience that would consider the text. The Ambassador
concurred, noting that it was important to get the text through the NSG quickly
so that the bilateral deal could move not just to Congress but also to
President Bush for needed presidential determinations. These determinations
were one-time requirements that did not need to be repeated in a new
administration. UPCOMING PRESIDENT-PRIME MINISTER MEETING
----------------------------------------- ¶9. (C) Ambassador Mulford moved to the topic of
the scheduled September 25 meeting between President Bush and Prime Minister
Singh in Washington .
He asked Ahluwalia what issues he thought the two leaders should discuss,
noting that the President was interested to know the latest on the government's
reform impulse that it indicated after winning the confidence vote in
Parliament in July. Ahluwalia started with a longer-term observation: that the
government's decision to part ways with the Left was decided on the issue of
the Indo-US civil nuclear deal, but that the parting of ways was done with the
sense of it being a longer, durable split. In the short-term, Ahluwalia
continued, there is still the question of whether any legislative reforms can
be done before elections. He thought the most that could be done would be to
introduce the insurance amendment legislation that raises the cap on foreign
direct investment (FDI) from 26% to 49% and to pass the pending banking
amendment act that removes the limit on voting rights of shareholders.
Ahluwalia opined that introducing the insurance legislation would be the
government's signal of its commitment to reform. He thought the banking
amendment should go through, but it mostly depends on whether the BJP signals
its support, because otherwise, the government is unlikely to be able to amass
enough of its new supporters to vote for the bill. ¶10. (C) The Deputy Chairman also pointed to
non-legislative reforms as being very possible. He suggested that Commerce
Minister Kamal Nath could do more on investment (Note: The Commerce Ministry
has the lead on the government's FDI policy that designates most FDI caps in
the country not controlled by existing legislation. End note.) Ahluwalia also
looked to the Banking Roadmap which is supposed to be revisited by the
government and the central bank, the RBI, in 2009. He thought a new roadmap
that opened India 's
banking sector to more foreign participation would not be issued until after
national elections next year. He noted that the currently scheduled
October-November parliamentary session was not very NEW DELHI 00002367 003 OF 005 long, and that
after that, there was not likely to be a substantive session until after
elections. He opined that since the deadline for a new Parliament to be in
session was May 2009, that elections would have to be held by March. However,
he noted, the election schedule would have to work around key school exams
during that part of the year. ¶11. (C) Returning to the scope of possible
reforms, Ahluwalia reiterated that the Finance Minister wants to get the
banking bill through and that on non-legislative side, improving the investment
environment through "debugging" the "creaking machinery" of
the bureaucracy would be an important reform. The Ambassador supported the
idea, noting that several American companies , most recently Oshkosh and Sikorsky, had been disqualified
from bids just shortly before the bids were to be opened, raising questions of
transparency. Ahluwalia admitted that he had not heard of these companies'
situation. Ambassador Mulford suggested the issue could be an agenda item for
the October 14 CEO Forum. Addressing the issue of questionable
disqualifications would help improve the business investment image of India .
Ahluwalia agreed, stressing that transparency was very important. However, he
countered, he has seen instances where foreign companies were properly disqualified
on a technicality that they knew of, yet failed to communicate circumstances
properly. Even so, the Ambassador said, it would be a good idea not to have
disqualifications occur just 1-2 days before the opening of bids. EDUCATION
FOCUS AT CEO FORUM ---------------------------- ¶12. (SBU) The Ambassador next suggested that
education collaboration might be a good agenda focus at the CEO Forum, to which
Ahluwalia agreed emphatically. Ambassador Mulford asked about the possibility
of commercial and military offsets being used for investments in India 's
education sector. Ahluwalia expressed the view that commercial offsets --
mostly generated from aviation purchases -- were a more likely source of
revenue for higher education investments, because the Ministry of Defense is
likely to use defense procurement offsets with its captive, protected state
interests. ¶13. (SBU) Ahluwalia indicated that the Indian
side is "keen" to step up its educational dialogue with the United States
and may wish to have it included in the joint statement between the President
and the Prime Minister at their meeting in late September. He went on to
suggest that, at the October 14 CEO Forum, the CEOs could "sanctify"
a plan to move forward on education collaboration. He explained that he has
been reaching out to Indian CEOs and to prominent Indians in the US , asking for
suggestions for cooperation between Indian and American universities. He was
trying to get the Secretary of Higher Education to the CEO Forum to help get
acceptance and commitment to moving forward on some kind of collaboration.
Under Indian law, Ahluwalia asserted, all kinds of foreign investment in
education was possible short of giving a foreign university degree. He wanted
to get the CEO Forum to "sanctify" support for enhanced cooperation
and to establish a formal framework. Ahluwalia also noted that, in addition to
support for the idea, he wanted the private sector to help pick up the costs of
exchanging students or faculty between Indian and American universities. ¶14. (SBU) The Ambassador asked for
clarification that newly established programs could be for-profit, but
Ahluwalia explained that for-profit universities are not currently allowed in India , based on
a Supreme Court decision. But, he observed, several states were taking the lead
in developing new education efforts, such as the Indian
School of Business in Hyderabad
or Haryana Chief Minister Hooda's plan to build an education city north of Delhi . India 's private
universities and schools get around the obligation to be nonprofit institutions
by establishing a trust or society that contained hidden fees or very
profitable hidden lease and other costs passed from the nonprofit educational
subsidiary to a holding company's real estate subsidiary. ¶15. (SBU) Ahluwalia explained that he had
proposed to Bill Harrison, former CEO of JP Morgan and lead US CEO of the CEO NEW
DELHI 00002367 004 OF 005 Forum, that a subgroup be created to identify areas
of educational collaboration. He had proposed that Infosys co-founder Nandan
Nilekani be the Indian side lead, and had asked Dan Price for suggestions on a
lead from the US
side. Ahluwalia claimed that some collaborations are already underway between
US universities and the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) and of
Management (IIMs), India 's
premier universities. In fact, Ahluwalia asserted, it would not be a problem
for US universities to identify an Indian university partner, where each side
would send students for a part of the home program to study in the partner
university and recognize the credits of each other towards the home degree. ¶16. (SBU) Embassy Public Affairs Counselor
Schwartz asked whether Ahluwalia had ideas for specific deliverables that could
be announced at the CEO Forum or proposed actions for the Education Working
Group. Ahluwalia opined that there might be a limited deliverable, such as
announcing that Nandan Nilekani and a US counterpart as co-chairs of a
group to provide a report to both governments after the Indian elections.
Schwartz asked whether a previously discussed idea, the creation of a junior
faculty development program, perhaps funded by commercial offsets, could be
kicked off at the CEO Forum working group meeting. Ahluwalia thought that was a
good idea, adding that there was no doubt that a report from the CEO Forum
working group to pinpoint the use of offsets would find a lot of takers and
proposed that the idea of offsets be cast as a note of suggestion, along with
other suggestions, for review by Nilekani's group. (Comment: Ahluwalia's suggestion
sidestepped Schwartz's proposal of obtaining GOI government approval for the
use of offsets by simply incorporating it as an area of study for the newly
formed group. End comment.) ¶17. (SBU) Schwartz suggested that another
deliverable might be the establishment of a US
- India Higher Education Council, which ECA Assistant Secretary Goli Ameri had
agreed to fund during her recent trip to India . The Council would be housed
for simplicity at the Fulbright Commission which has a bilateral Board of
Directors and serve as a regular consultative body for educators, along with
their supporters in government and industry. Ahluwalia thought that made "a
lot of sense," and suggested that in advance of the CEO Forum meeting, it
would be good to discuss the idea with MEA Joint Secretary Gaitri Kumar and CII
leader Tarun Das. DE-CONSTRUCTING DOHA
-------------------- ¶18. (C) Ambassador Mulford lastly noted to
Ahluwalia that President Bush might wish to discuss with Prime Minister Singh
the recent failed mini-Ministerial in Geneva
on the Doha Round. Mulford asked Ahluwalia if he thought it worth raising, to
which Ahluwalia replied that anything that the President felt should be raised
would be fine and in fact the two had often exchanged views on Doha before. Further,
Ahluwulia felt that if the US
judged there was the possibility of movement, then a discussion at the Bush-Singh
level would be especially useful. Ahluwalia noted that he had not yet received
a full briefing from the Indian delegation, but that Joint Secretary Gopal
Krisha was scheduled to come over during the week to discuss with him. However,
Ahluwalia said that he had heard from the US National Security Council's Dan
Price on the August meeting. Ahluwalia understood that the breaking point had
been over the special safeguard mechanism (SSM). The Indian view, Ahluwalia
believed, was that the 40% increase in imports as the threshold trigger for
raising tariff rates was too high. As an economist, Ahluwalia opined, he didn't
understand why the percentage of imports had been used. More relevant, he
asserted, was the size of imports to the economy. The larger the importance of
imports to the economy, the more important a small increase in imports was. ¶19. (C) Ahluwalia further offered that his
limited understanding from the Indian side was that U.S. Trade Representative
(USTR) Susan Schwab had hardened the US position on SSM and would not
consider a compromise proposal that would have phased in an increase in the
import increase trigger. The Ambassador quickly countered that the US perceived
that India had hardened its stance on SSM after Commerce Minister Nath had
returned to Geneva from the July NEW DELHI 00002367 005 OF 005 21 Confidence
Vote in the Indian Parliament, and that the change was unexpected. Ahluwalia replied
indirectly, noting that India 's
view of the SSM was that since the main proposal for the Doha
bound rates was so similar to the rates from the Uruguay Round that the SSM
only applied to Uruguay
products with no margins. The key question was what should be the trigger for
raising tariffs under the SSM? Economic Counselor Davison explained that SSM
was very important to US agricultural interests. Many of them felt that without
the SSM, the US
concessions on agriculture were too much. They felt the overall package would
not have resulted in increased and predictable access to Indian markets. ¶20. (C) As the meeting drew to a close,
Ahluwalia reiterated that he agreed with the Ambassador that the President and
Prime Minister should discuss Doha
at their meeting. Ahluwalia thought there was maybe a communication issue that
could be addressed. The Indian government, he assured the Ambassador, was not
taking the view that there was nothing there at Doha
for India .
If there are small points where re-thinking and clarification could be made,
and USTR Schwab and Minister Nath were to meet again before the President-PM
meeting, then it would be useful to know what the US needs are. If it is just this
"SSM thing" of choosing between either no SSM until 40% or creating a
lower, graduating trigger, Ahluwalia concluded, then it did not seem to be a
major difference. MULFORD MULFORD
