Sticking to its position, India on Friday ruled out signing the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty (CTBT) in its present forms but made it clear that it was committed to ridding the world of nuclear weapons.

The Indian stand was reaffirmed in the wake of the UN Security Council resolution, spearheaded by President Barack Obama that asked all non-NPT signatories to join the treaty as non-nuclear weapon states.
