Council, Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani said today.
In an informal chat with reporters en route to Ahmedabad, Advani said during his interaction with American leaders recently, even Bush had said that "I feel that India should get a permanent seat."
He, however, asserted that the proposal to send Indian troops to Iraq had "nothing to do" with the Security Council membership.
