Left and NDA to meet to discuss N-deal

Left continues on their anti-nation propoganda...

Ahead of the first meeting of the United Progressive Alliance-Left committee to sort out differences on the nuclear deal with the US, Left parties on Monday toughened their stance saying nobody can convince them that the Hyde Act will have "no role or effect" on the bilateral agreement.

The 15-member Left-United Progressive Alliance panel on the Indo-US nuclear deal will have its first meeting on Tuesday as part of the exercise to address concerns raised by the four Left parties regarding the implications of the India-specific Hyde Act of the US on the country's independent foreign policy, sovereignty and its future weapons programmes.

But CPM seems to have already decided on its course of action for these discussions.

"All these issues we will discuss. But nobody will be able to convince us that the Hyde Act has no role, no effect on this bilateral agreeement. I know they will put very eminent lawyers from their side. But this is not a matter to be argued in a court of law," Communist Party of India-Marxist general secretary Prakash Karat said in Delhi.

Left crosses all limits of betryal...

Indian Left parties have crossed all limits in their betryal towards India and their preference for their Father country - China.

Sample this:

Flagging off the Jatha organised by the Left parties against the joint naval exercise involving the United States, veteran Communist Party of India-Marxist leader Jyoti Basu on Tuesday stepped up the Left attack on the United Progressive Alliance government for its tilt towards the US.

"The UPA government is trying to turn the country into the American fold which is against the Common Minimum Programme, on the basis of which the Left is extending support to the Centre," Basu said addressing a gathering before kick starting the 'jatha'(procession).

"This is against the country's independent foreign policy," the 94-year-old politburo member of the CPM said and hoped that the people of the country would realise the danger and extend support to the 'jatha'.

CPI general secretary A B Bardhan who is heading the 'jatha' from Kolkata to Vishakapattanam said that he had no idea about the outcome of the committee set up by the UPA government to address the concerns of the Left parties on the Indo-US nuclear deal.

"The government will face the consequence if it goes ahead with operationalising the deal," he said.

This is the same Jyoti Basu that said in 1962, that China is not attacking India. These left leaders should be deported to China and CPM to be banned.

If they cant see what is of strategic importance to India, they have no right to mis-led people and hold protests against a military affair.

I bet Indian Naval officers would be dying to get their hands to strangulate the neck of left leaders. Only if the law permits that. LOL.

Unshackling of technological embargoes through N-deal

More support for the Nuclear Deal - from the people who understand the technicalities behind the deal....

The Indo-US nuclear deal could lead to a possible "unshackling" of technological embargoes, further aiding the domestic nuclear programme of the country, the Chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission Mr Anil Kakodkar has said.

"The possible unshackling of the technology embargo regime that has operated around us for decades without success is a welcome opportunity that we should be able to exploit without any adverse impact on our autonomous domestic research and development and implementation of our three stage nuclear programme," Anil Kakodkar said at a recent function.

Kakodkar said the nation would continue to pursue its three stage development programme for nuclear power.

The government, he said, was aware of the pressing energy needs, and was prepared to bring in additionalities through international civil nuclear co-operation.

This is a important set of comments because the senior scientist, was among those consulted during the negotiations for the 123 Agreement for the civil nuclear deal.

He knows what he talks about.

Sonia hails Manmohan for N-deal

In this country, everything in politics is controlled by the Gandhi family. So when Sonia Madam hails PM for the N-deal, this means that Congress is really serious on this deal. Sample this..

Congress President Sonia Gandhi has congratulated Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his team of "able negotiators" for hammering a treaty that "satisfies all the conditions" laid out before Parliament.

"... India and the US have signed a historic 123 Agreement that lifts the decades-old embargo against nuclear trade with India. This will allow India to expand its energy sector to meet the growing demands of our economic growth and put an end to the power shortages that we are all familiar with," she said.

In a "Letter to Congress Workers", Gandhi said, "We congratulate Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his team of able negotiators who have hammered a treaty that satisfies all the conditions laid out before Parliament and brought home an agreement that is in the long term in the interest of India."

Communists and Committees - The two poison in way of India's growth

In India, committees are formed for every issue, as no-one is willing to take a decision. These committees never come up with any reasonable resultion of important matters, and things languish endlessly for days altogether.

Another committee is getting formed to hang the landmark nuclear cooperation deal between India and the United States.

Indian government buckling under the left opposition decided to implement the pact only after a politically appointed committee examines it. Mr Singh agreed to the communists' demand that a committee be created to examine the pact. The operationalization of the deal will take into account the committee's findings. Mr. Mukherjee said the committee is to have five Congress members and five communists.

This is unfortunate as even one communist is able to destory the country - five communists are capable of going to any extent to please their fatherland - China. I can visualize the Chinese government going all ga-ga over our national stupidity of voting CPM into power.

This has in effect hanged the progress on the next steps - negotiating agreements with the
International Atomic Energy Agency and the Nuclear Suppliers Group, a group of nations that export nuclear material — before the committee had finished its review.

There is a deadline for these two activities. As per the discussion with US authorities, agreements with the International Atomic Energy Agency and the Nuclear Suppliers Group has to be tied up by the end of the year, along with the needed approval from U.S. lawmakers.
The creation of the committee raised questions about whether they could still meet that deadline.

A committee could delay any movement on the pact until it is no longer viable.

Finally communists have succeeded in what they like to do - hamper the country's progress to please China. And this case, they have pleased Pakistan as well, by hurting India's progress.

Tale of some jealous journalists!

The N-deal, though hugely advantageous for India, has recieved some critical press from international publications such as The Economist, for American Congress and Bush's effort to treat India as a special case. Sample this from The Economist:

For India's government the controversial deal it struck last month with America to allow civil nuclear co-operation between the two countries is already radiating success. Shinzo Abe, Japan's prime minister, was in Delhi this week to cement a “strategic partnership”. Meanwhile, Australia's cabinet has agreed in principle to sell uranium to India, even though India hasn't signed the NPT.

The Bush administration argues it is better to bring India in from the cold and have it take on similar responsibilities to the treaty's five recognised nuclear powers: America, Britain, France, Russia and China. That would be a net gain for non-proliferation.

This deal is a huge win for India. Having a powerful strategic partner such as USA helps to get similar fruitful deals from countries like Australia, Japan and others, and with the Uncle Sam's hand on your back, you are included in the global mainstream of trade and commerce, inspite of progressing on domestic nuclear front.

Way to go, India. And do not bother about the jealous jounalists!

Former chairman of Atomic Energy Commission criticizes Left parties

This comes straight from the horse's mouth.

Former chairman of Atomic Energy Commission M R Srinivasan has condemned the Left parties for their opposition to the Indo-US nuclear deal, saying they do not bother about the country's GDP growth.

Dear Sir, they call themselves Left, because they do not know the "right" way to drive this country to prosperity. Leftist idealism can only prosper if poverty survives. They need hordes of poor as their vote-bank to condemn the capatalist. They need a ENEMY. Notwithstanding the fact that their parent country China is the most capitalist country in the world.

Mr Srinivasan said that left's main concern is India and the US are coming closer and this is something they cannot stomach.
He said that it is not a good thing to have a strong China and a weak India in a long haul.

His remarks are important because in event of a no strategic partnership with west, a energy hungry nation like India will crumble under the weight of its own development and GDP run-rate. This is another matter that a poor India would be loved by Left parties, as they need poor and deprieved spread all around them to listen to their communist ideologies.

Mr Srinivasan argued that Strengthening of relations with the US should be seen as "hedging your risk" so that New Delhi is not left "high and dry.

It took China 13 years to negotiate the 123 agreement with the US, it took only two years for India to enter into similar pact with Washington. We are on a path of progress and self-reliance. Let us co-ordinate with the world powers to generate more energy for our domestic needs. Let us remove poverty from this country by aiming for a agressive GDP growth rate.

Vande Matram.
