India not to back any unilateral action against Iraq

February 25, 2003 12:07 IST

Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on Tuesday said India would not support any unilateral action against Iraq and the international community must ensure that it followed no 'double standard' regarding weapons of mass destruction.

"The US role is such that it cannot be supported. We will take a decision in case of outbreak of a war," Vajpayee said in Kuala Lumpur.

At the same time, Vajpayee said Iraq should dismantle weapons of mass destruction, if it had any.

"The standard being adopted regarding North Korea shows that there are double standards being followed," he said.

Winding up his four-day visit to Malaysia for the 13th Non-Aligned Movement summit, the prime minister expressed the hope that the stand against the war on Iraq taken by the 116-nation grouping would have its effect on US President George W Bush and other western leaders.
