China is not protesting membership of India in NSG, it is only talking of criteria procedure, said Sushma Swaraj. China is believed to be strongly opposing India's membership at the premier club arguing that it was not a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Earlier this week, China's official media said India's NSG membership would "jeopardise" China's national interests besides touching a "raw nerve" in Pakistan. The US has backed India and asked various NSG members to support New Delhi's bid. Sushma Swaraj said India would not oppose any other application for entry into the NSG but underlined the final decision should be decided on merits.
