India caved in to foreign pressure by diluting the right to seek recourse from foreign suppliers as per the rules notified under the Civil Nuclear Liability Act, said Greenpeace Thursday.

"Following protests by opposition parties and the civil society, the right to recourse for the operator to seek compensation from foreign suppliers was included in the draft last year and approved by the parliament. This clause has now been reduced to being insignificant," said a statement issued by the environment issues NGO.

Reacting to the notification of the rules, Greenpeace nuclear and energy campaigner, Karuna Raina said: "The notified rule considerably changes it from what was approved last year amid protest from the opposition, both inside and outside the parliament."

"The government has undone the efforts put in by thousands of individuals and organisations that fought for a stringent Liability Act. The lessons learnt from Bhopal tragedy have clearly not made any difference to the government. For them foreign interest is paramount and much above wellbeing of its peoples," she said.

India had Wednesday notified the implementation rules for the civil nuclear liability law.
