India opposes no-fly zone, use of force in Libya
India is opposed to a no-fly zone or the use of force in Libya, and other major developing nations have "reservations," a top Indian foreign ministry official said in remarks published yesterday.
"As of now we are not in favour of a no-fly zone. We are opposed to use of force," foreign secretary Nirupama Rao told The Hindu newspaper.
"Among BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, China) countries, questions have been raised and reservations expressed," she said.
India is a temporary member of the UN Security Council, but has ambitions to become a permanent member with a veto alongside Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States.
