We have got clean waiver from NSG. We are not deeply concerned (over G-8 declaration)...,” Finance Minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee told the Rajya Sabha . Mr Mukherjee, who was External Affairs Minister when India got waiver from the NSG and signed India specific safeguards agreement with IAEA last year, was responding to opposition members' concern on the G-8 declaration at Italy.
