The print and electronic media reporting that Muslims in general are against the nuclear deal is all wrong and malicious, and spread by media houses close to the Left & BJP.Being a Muslim, I am in total support of the deal, moreover ask any common man on the ground whether he is Hindu,Sikh,Muslim,Christian etc.he does not know a bit about the deal,he is more worried about the prices of cereals and vegetables which he consumes.Hence by projecting a footage of Muslim ulemas meeting Mayawati the media have concluded that Muslims are worried by the deal.I also have pity on the ulemas, who on one hand tell brother Muslims to bow before the Almighty Allah in both good and bad times, but they instead have preferred to bow before a wretched woman, who cares two hoots for the common man leave aside a Muslim.Also I would like to remind the media that APJ Abdul Kalam has given the verdict of the deal being in favour of India as an Indian not as a Muslim, because he might be a namesake Muslim, but he was not a practising Muslim.I have never come across media coverage of Kalam publicly offering Eir/Bakrid prayers,leave aside the normal Friday prayers.Eid/Bakrid prayers cannot be offered within the confines of Rashtrapati Bhawan.All eminent Muslim personalities around the world have always been shown offering their prayers, except Kalam.HENCE I WOULD CONCLUDE THAT IF THE NUCLEAR DEAL IS IN FAVOUR OF INDIA, THEN MUSLIM OR NOT EVERY INDIAN SHOULD FAVOUR THE DEAL.

Yes brother I am a sikh and I am in total support to all muslims. After all if india will progress we all will get benefit.
First we all are Indians and then some hindu, muslim or sikh.
I am in total support to you and this goes as an answer to those shit media persons who for the sake of selling do such kind of wrong practices.
I think we all should be in support of the deal and let us spread this message and if in case there are re elections let us support congress or may be BJP with full majority if they both agree to go ahead with this deal.

Nobody told muslims are against the deal.But Muslim league has expressed concerns over the deal and their MP E.Ahamed has been given instruction by the party to resign if UPA signs Nuclear treaty. What does that say opposition or support..?

Most of my Muslim friends think like that but it is unfortunate that the media which has stereotyped images project the Ulemas meeting the Maya and I am sure both of them have neither seen the draft or know much about it! What is saddening is a party like the Shiv Sena that supports the deal will vote against it to show solidarity with their political bedfellows! I wish they showed solidarity with national interests!

Most of the Indian (70% ?) live on less then a dollar a day Regardless their religion or cast they have more worry about meeting their 02 ends at the end of the day. They have no idea about the Nuclear deal or they are not bothered about electricity. Only problem is they vote for the party they are told to vote by their so called boss weather it is mulla, Maulavi, jamindar, Mukkadam, Asaram or aayaram etc
The articles which u r reading very day.. Very good good about the N-Deal is a part of promotion of the deail done by the Govt. to avoid National Agitation.
Remember the BJP branding 'Incredible India' Camp.
I cannot agree with Mr. Sreenivasan that the nuclear deal is in India's best interests and I don't think that the UPA Govt. (Indians ?)took Mr. Karat's views into consideration or the IAEA wanted Uncle Sam on board . If that were to be the case then the UPA govt. should have stated that Karat's interests have been taken care of and the Communists should have no cause to complain . In any case if for getting uranium we forego our right to make another test especfially of the nuetron bomb (which we have not tested as yet) then we are committing hara kiri . Further the Agreement does not guarantee uranium supplies . Suppose supplies are disrupted there is no backup . The U.S. does not guarantee arrnaging a supply from any other source . Further under this agreement instead of India building the nuclear plants it will be built by American Companies . This agreement will mainly help American nuclear plant builders .

Anil you are 110% right.
For your information Mr. Srinivas today USA can not even afford to send all the indians in US back to india because Indians are one of the pillars of American economy. And why not to take expert technology instead experimenting with the Indian technology. Initially we imported cars and today we export same wil happen with Nuclear energy once we get expertise we will have other Asian and AFrican nations as our clients.

1. First feed your people and then think of the Bomb, neutron or otherwise! 2. IAEA is not the supplier and neither has the authority or competence to supply nuclear fuel or technology. It is only a regulatory body that overseas that the nuclear/fissile material is used for the purpose it is intended without any clandestine diversion! So to ask for guarantee of supplies, India would have to negotiate with the Nuclear Supplies Group, which will only entertain you after the Deal is signed! 3. In the absence of supplies, or the termination of agreement, India is free to take any remedial measures which are not specified which is in India's interest. If specified, the peaceniks of the West would certainly get a clause to annul that when the vote comes up! 4. Am shocked that MMS and his team actually got a deal so much in favour of the contry - I thought he was a dud! Turns out he is radioactive !

under this agreement India can go to anybody for the fuel and new plants. In fact it facilitates other NSG members to do business with India without any hitch.

Srinivas: Please read the agreement. It is about fuel supplies. Fuel and equipment can be bought from anywhere, not US. Commie Karat and other desh drohis can go to hell. India will test when it needs to, please dont lose sleep over it.

Dear friend you shall also read the draft agreement.It doesn't spells any thing about corrective steps that India shall made in case of cease of supply from nuclear fuel. It also clearly states that the US took a different approach to India,It was more favourable to china in such areement signed years ago.
The govt should go ahead and sign the deal. Let the left oppose it. The ppl of this country will ever be grateful to those behind this deal, may be not now... but after the benefits start coming.

Now Congres purchases 1 MP for 25 crore in the same style as Narasamha Rao did. In 50 yeaes back , to topple first elected Communist Ministry of EMS, CIA and Congress offered per MLA 1 lakh rupees (now it is euqal to 2 crore).Congi recruited another 11 spokespersons. At press conferences, their head r bowing because they themselves knows they are paid servants by America. Congress thinks Nepal Raja would have saved if they have spokepersons. What to do Congress has broken its own leg. Sonia tells move front foot. I did not know Congress has broked 'back foot'.

Sahadevan KK...commies are still living in the Cold war era..and they cannot take even an "uneducated guess"..the capability does not exist..and the LEFT can hardly be called responsible. The left does not know how to conduct country's business (not that any other party does) it not qualified to even speak this subject..if they were so caring about India as they "seem" to project..they did not participate in govt..nor allowed it to function...LEFT is no saint when it comes to corruption..Sahadevan KK u r such a joke that you r not even worth a laugh..so crawl into a black hole!...
