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.

BJP and RJD Support Nuclear Deal!!

Slowly sense is prevailing in Indian Political Arena. Or is it the fear of impending elections, that no-one really wants to face.

Indian Politicians are known to turn on their head, and change their comments and strategy every now and then to suit themselves, but this is too quick even for their comfort.

BJP and RJD - a UPA ally, have given signals of endorsing N-deal and distancing themselves from left parties on this matter.

The U-turn on N-Deal:

1. Ties with US in our national interest, deal OK if home law changed: Advani

In a dramatic turnaround, the BJP today distanced itself from the Left over the Indo-US nuclear deal with Leader of Opposition L K Advani saying that his party has no objection to the 123 Agreement if the government amends the Indian Atomic Energy Act to ensure strategic independence and non-hindrance in reactor fuel supplies.

These latest remarks from the Leader of Opposition appear to undermine the Left’s consistent claim that a “majority” in Parliament are opposed to the nuclear deal.

2. RJD endorses Indo-US nuclear deal

The RJD, a key ally of the UPA government at the Centre, today endorsed the Indo-US civil nuclear deal, saying the treaty would enable the country to fulfil its energy needs.
Adopting a resolution at its national conference held in Sarnath near here, the RJD, headed by Railway Minister Lalu Prasad, endorsed the deal on the ground that it would enable the country to generate nuclear energy to meet the infrastructural requirements.

The party congratulated the UPA government and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh for working out the deal with the US.

Wow. That's the starting signals of victory for Manmohan's tough stand on N-deal. I guess more parties would join the 'aye' band-wagon soon. It takes just a little tough-stand to bring the sheeps to herd, I presume!!

Left is left stranded, once again. Anti-nationalist folks deserve no support.

India's Voice : UPA and Left lose in Snap Poll survey

Political parties under-estimate the IQ of Indian public. They are duly punished.

Rajiv gandhi got punished for bofors. NDA got punished for gujarat. UPA, Left will get punished for N-deal fiasco according to a snap-poll survey.

The survey, conducted by The Week, predicts that the United Progressive Alliance may secure 172 to 192 seats in the 545-member Lok Sabha.
The National Democratic Alliance can win as many as 178 to 198 seats while the Third Front can notch up to 44 to 54 seats.
The share of the four Left parties may drop drastically to 38 to 48 seats from their present tally of 59 seats!!

This is Indian public's response to anti-nationalist policies of left over N-deal. Never underestimate the power of democracy pal. Public can ruin you before you can ruin their country.

Survey's results will actually favor N-deal. Left now knows that they will get destroyed if they go to people in event of a mid-term elections. so their blackmail tactics over N-deal may lose its credibility. Good for our country.

As they say in a bollywood movie:
Yeh public hai babu, yeh sab janti hai!

CPM Politburo blackmails India government over N-Deal

CPI-M is a regional party, who strives on spreading chaos, unrest in workers and get their perverted fun in shutting down well-run industries and commercial organizations. I mean, who wants to work, when all you can do is to sit around local Tea-stall and deliver lip-service on Marxism, communism and other poisons.

Take a look at numerable companies who shut shop in Kerala for example. Or take a look at smart Tamilian workers who sneak across TN-Kerala border to work in Kerala while the local workers listen to CPI-M bands and darnas.

Now with the coalition politics, and ill-fortune of this country, that we have to depend on CPM to make the government run (LOL), it is obvious that they want to repeat what they have been doing with all the industries in their home state. They want to shut the government down!

CPI-M leaders have decided to blackmail the UPA government, to not to carry forward the N-deal talks, and not to operationalize the deal. Else, you lose the raj pal...

West Bengal State CPM party is jittery about the looming polls, after all they have to do the ground work, while the politburo serves the lip-service. So, there is pressure on CPM not to immediately withdraw the support.

Lets see when this stalemate is broken. Indian coalition politics stands for stalemates, dead-ends and limited progress. Traitors like CPM only add to the problems.

Ronen Sen offers his apologies over Headless Chicken

Its yet another worthy diplomat being harassed and humiliated by their political bosses.

Ambassador Ronen Sen has had a illustrious career. He joined IFS in 1966 and has served India at Moscow, Mexico, Germany, Dhaka, and UK. He has also served Ministry of External Affairs, as a Joint secretary to PM and most importantly he has worked as secretary to the atomic energy commision of India. Mr Sen took charge as Ambassador of India to USA in Aug, 2004.

So when he speaks, he know what he is talking about.

Mr Sen spoke his heart out on India-US Nuclear deal and pointed out that we will lose all credibility if we miss this opportunity and run away to show our back to this important deal. He was aghast at attitude of Indian political parties and journalists. He spoke what he deemed was critical and correct for the nation.

And, he gets penalised for it. His head is most prized possession for CPM and Karat and valuable time of Indian parliament is used to humiliate this nationalist servant of India.

There is a saying that IAS officers in Bihar used to hold the "pan-dan or spit-holder" for Laloo Yadav and probably Indian politicans treat experienced and talented Bureaucracy no more than their personal servants.

To be rebuffed and humiliated at will.

Pakistan, Oh so Unhappy over Indo-US Nuclear Deal...LOL

Pakistan is sulking. Ancient Indian queens used to have the concept of a "kop bhavan", where queens used to hide when they were unhappy with the king. The king of modern world is of course US of A. And Pakistan is searching for its proverbial "kop bhavan" to hide its face and cry in peace...LOL

"Pakistan does not accept any discriminatory treatment," a Foreign Ministry statement said, reacting to the House International Relations Committee's approval of a draft bill to make exemptions in US energy laws for implementing the deal

http://www.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=70156

More from Pakis...

"We have cautioned the international community about the consequences of this agreement for the shared objectives of stability in South Asia and a strong global non-proliferation regime," Aslam said of the Indo-US nuclear deal. "

OK, so are you threatening me?

You pakis have already sold your Chinese made N-BOMBS to Iran, N-Korea and every Tom, Dick and Harry Rogue state. Khan has made his billions out of the N-Deals he did with every terrorist group worth of paying the N-Bill.

What consequences are the Pakis talking about now. They have already threatened the existence of global peace by selling their Chinese bombs.

Mr Bush has unintentionally rubbed some more salt in Paki wounds...

....President Bush made clear today that Pakistan should not expect anytime soon a civilian nuclear agreement like the one the United States reached only days ago with India, and he bluntly said that the two archrivals on the subcontinent cannot be compared to each other...

Mr. Bush said that he and Pakistan’s president, General Pervez Musharraf, had discussed a civilian nuclear program for Pakistan during talks this morning.

“I explained that Pakistan and India are different countries with different needs and different histories," Mr. Bush said at a joint outdoor news conference with Mr. Musharraf on the grounds of the presidential palace, Aiwan-e-Sadr. “So as we proceed forward, our strategy will take in effect those well-known differences."

Mr. Bush had never been expected to endorse a nuclear agreement with Pakistan, the country of A.Q Khan, the founder of Pakistan’s nuclear program who has confessed to running the largest illegal nuclear proliferation network in history. But it was striking that the president spoke so directly as his host, Mr. Musharraf, stood at his side

http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/04/international/asia/04cnd-pakistan.html?ex=1299128400&en=7883e0c1690464cf&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

HAHA...HAHA...HAH!!

Some more paki wounds...

If all else fails, Pakistan will hope that the US-India nuclear deal faces a major hurdle either in the US Congress or with the Nuclear Suppliers Group. Chances are US legislators will be critical of the deal. Though they might not go to the extent of rejecting or blocking it, if some of them were to start to nit-pick the deal, the government of India might be forced to back out of it for reasons of national honor and prestige...

http://www.atimes.com/atimes/South_Asia/HC07Df01.html

But alas, the deal is getting blocked by our own countrymen...

CPI-M is making Pakis so so oh so happy, by their vehement opposition, anti-Indian behaviour (which is nothing new for Indian Commies), and their open blackmail of UPA government.

We have chosen 60 CPI goons to parliament. We should pay for it na.

India frees up its nuclear resources if the deal goes through...

One significant advantage of the Nuclear deal is highlighted by "The Independent" published from UK. Read On..

...A former head of Indian intelligence has said publicly the deal will allow India to produce 50 more nuclear warheads a year than it can now, by freeing up existing uranium reserves for military use...

Well, this is very much a need of the hour...Sample this..

Satellite photographs revealed Pakistan is building what analysts believe is a large reactor capable of producing enough plutonium for 50 warheads a year

This means that if the Nuclear deal doesn't go through, and Pakis are well ahead in their N-plan....of course with the technology assistance from China and Petro-dollars from Gulf...Pakis will soon be in a position to threaten us with their Islamic BOMBS...

Advantages of Nuclear Deal for India...from The Economist

Wow...this is straight from "The Economist"...

The premium paper of economic analysis and thinking has warned USA to go ahead with Nuclear Deal....Why? Because this deal helps India more than it helps USA....

See for yourself...

Rise of China is rarely mentioned, but it is perhaps the fundamental impulse behind this deal, as a factor in America's nuclear exception for India....

....But from what has been said about it, it makes the deal far worse, by allowing India to reprocess American-supplied nuclear fuel, and by permitting it to build fuel stockpiles and hence withstand any future cut-off of supplies should it test another bomb....

http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=9587588

The Economist believes that USA has given too many concessions to India, in its bid to control the military and economic growth of China...So here's the economic and strategy link to this deal...US wants to control China...Full Stop.

China knows this..so they oppose the deal...And many pro-China Indian political parties also oppose the deal...

But hey its benefitial for India...So lets hope it goes through and lets support it with all our might and nationalist spirit...

Uncovering the mask of Indian Communist Parties

Well, I can't play hide and seek anymore...

Let me spill the beans....Lets check out the genesis, locus standi and DNA of our communist friends. I do some basic research on Internet to find out history, geography and economics(!) of CPI-M...

1960s:

In the early 1960s the Communist Party of China began criticising the Communist Party of Soviet Union of turning revisionist and of deviating from the path of Marxism-Leninism.

Sino-Indian relations also deteriorated, as border disputes between the two countries erupted into the Indo-China war of 1962.

During the war, a faction of the Indian communists backed the position of the Indian government, while other sections of the party claimed that it was a conflict between a socialist and a capitalist state, and thus took a pro-Chinese position.

What!!!!! A section of Indian communist claimed that 1962 war was conflict between socialist(China) and capitalist state (India! where was capital in India in 1962 btw)..and took a pro-China position???? There is big history of anti-Indian behaviour in Indian communist party...

There were three factions in the party - internationalists, centrists, and nationalists. Internationalists supported the Chinese stand where as the Nationalists backed India. Centrists took a neutral view.

Taken from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communist_Party_of_India_(Marxist)
(Yes, Im not making this up, this is up there on Internet as HISTORY of CPI-M...there basic genesis is anti-Indian)

The Tenali convention (1964) of CPI was marked by the display of a large portrait of the Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong....

1965

In a broadcast from Delhi on 1 January 1965, the union home minister Gulzarilal Nanda said “There is a reason to believe that the new party CPI (M) was formed under Peking’s inspiration.
It was to serve as Peking’s instrument in creating conditions of instability in the country and to facilitate the promotion of Chinese designs against India in furtherance of her grand strategy of establishing hegemony…. over Asia and her declared aim of world revolution. There is reason to believe that the Left Communist Party has close links with the Chinese from whom it draws ideological inspiration and receives support in other forms.” ....
----------------------------------
Hey, hey, I know the meaning of support in other forms...under the table you mean na....this clarifies the economics of CPI-M....they recieve Chinese Yuans...I guess the biggest importer of Chinese Yuan in this country...LOL...
----------------------------------

More Anti-nationalism, Anti-Indian poison from CPI-M:

In those times (1962), Jyoti Basu, addressing a meeting said: "It's being propagated that the country has been attacked by the Chinese. We don't know what is happening in the snow-clad areas of the Himalayas. The border problem to be solved Peaceably across the table. And if the country has been attacked how is it that this by-election! is being held?" Consider the use of the words like “propagated" Basu was suggesting that the news that the Chinese were attacking India was false.

It was Lal Bahadur Shastri, then Home Minister, who gave an apt reply to Basu's outpourings. Said Shastri: "How an Indian could make such a statement, I can't even imagine." He threatened CPI with legal action. The Congress president and general secretary demanded a ban on the party. “Nehru himself” spoke of the possibility of a ban or curbs on it.

Oh man, so we are dealing with lot of hidden-enemies here...enemies which are disguised in form of a Indian political party...enemies which take funding from China....Its like a Cancer hidden in your body and GROWING....each day...stronger and stronger...

Why can't China hide its GLEE over problems in India-US Nuclear Deal

I wonder how is China inter-connected to Indo-US Nuclear Deal....I mean as the deal gets in greater troubled waters, the celebrations get louder in Beijing...What is the real politics behind it?

Chinese media is state controlled (I guess which media isn't) and so they can't publish anything without state approval...Come to think of it, they even call one of their prominient newspaper "People's Online Daily"!!

See what People's Online Daily covers about the India-US Deal...

Its pretty simple actually...

The deal between India and US paves the path for energy rennaisance in India, self-reliance and International recognition for India as a Nuclear state, which obviously is a little bit difficult for China to digest. Hey, we guys fought a war in 1962 remember?

So our traditional competitor and strongest enemy doesn't want India to get stronger and hence is pretty happy as the deal gets in troubled, murkier and dirty waters. Its even better if Indian government collapses over this...they anyways don't like the democracy part of it...so If government collapses over a energy related issue...well, hey lets come and join the party in Beijing!!

Here is more info on China's happiness over potential deal failure..

I can understand China, but why are some political parties in India celebrating? Hey, let me understand this clearly...

China is our enemy...so they get happy if Indo-US deal fails...This is fine.

But why Indian political parties should cause the deal to fail...?

Are you suggesting that we are dealing with some anti-nationalist people here..

Well, whats the big deal in Indian politics...har neta bikau hai..

But, playing in the hands of China? Isnt that a little bit shameful?

Scientist Speak: Prima facie it looks like a victory for India

Some comments from the Indian Nuclear Scientist community on the Indo-US Nuclear deal:

Indian Nuclear Society president Placid Rodrigues told TOI "On the face of it, it seems okay, but still we have to wait and watch. Prima facie it looked like a victory for India".

"I feel that India has partly won this deal," he said. "India's fast breeder programme will take off if we have a large number of reprocessing plants, and I am happy that the negotiations have led to some agreement."

Atomic Energy Commission former chairman M R Srinivasan said, "I think it is a good package. I think India's vital concerns have been finally addressed." Srinivasan said once the deal becomes operational it would go a long way in increasing the share of India's nuclear energy. "

It took 300 working hours for Indian and American negotiators to put together a 30-page document that constitutes the 123 Agreement which will bring into effect the Indo-US civilian nuclear deal.

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/123_Agreement_a_victory_for_India_Scientists/rssarticleshow/2225506.cms

All in all, looks like a significant victory for India. With our bulging population, increasing oil costs, uncertainity in Gulf, Nuclear energy is the way to self-reliance for Indian energy needs.

Then why are some people opposing this deal. What is their self-interest. Are these people sold-out and Anti-Indian?

What do you think.
Ramanathan

Update: Former chairman of ISRO and Rajya Sabha MP K. Kasturirangan speaks in favor of 123 agreement:

123 Agreement preserves India’s right to reprocess spent fuel... should set at rest concerns of political & scientific communities’
http://www.indianexpress.com/story/206705.html

Noone disputes the opinion of well-educated and nationalist scientist from ISRO....Then why are some political parties dead against the agreement...Are they playing in hands of some enemies?

The truth behind 123 agreement...

What is the truth behind 123 agreement. Is it beneficial for India. Lets examine the nuts and bolts of the agreement and decide for ourselves:

1. The 123 agreement is silent on nuclear testing by India, but makes it clear that the pact will not hinder or hamper India's military nuclear programme

2. The agreement commits the US to ensure uninterrupted fuel supplies to Indian reactors even if it terminates its cooperation and to help create strategic fuel reserve for Indian safeguarded nuclear reactors.

3. US to ensure India can have nuclear cooperation with the international community.

4. Either party (country) shall have the right to terminate this agreement prior to its expiration on one year's written notice to the other party

I wonder if the agreement ensures critical supply to our reactors, gives us global recognition and importance, does not deters nuclear testing by India, it must be really benefitial for our country.
Then what is the real "motto" of the protestors and people against the deal?

Your thoughts.

Your Voice on India-US Nuclear Deal

Fellow Countrymen,

The time is ripe for all of us to raise our voices and make ourselves heard!

What's the (Nuclear!) Deal between India and US?

Will our country benefit from this?

What is the fine print on this deal?

Why are some people so against this deal? Who are these people? Are they conveying the voice of some enemies from across the border?

Lets talk. Lets talk openly. Do not sit inert. (At least press some keys!)

Lets save our country from any betrayals. Its my voice. Its your voice.
