Left wants Debate on Iran
by Samit Shrivastava on Feb 05, 2006 07:18 PM


India has done right voting in favor of the resolution. Iran's nuclear program is not a threat for India but there are reports of Pakistani and Chinese invlovment and that is a cause of worry. Iran has been our traditional ally but the need of the hour is to reveal the covert interest of Pakistan and China.I think keeping this in mind India has voted in favor. Blaming the US pressure behind this decision doesn't sound great. At this juncture of time, India's own interst are first and foremost and co-operation with US is going to provide long term benefits such as more FDI in India, more participation in global matters such as Human Rights and Enviornmental Issues.

Left Front is negecting the visible truth that for development we need support of the West and in particular of the US. Iran some times back had promised to supply the oil but now India can see options like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and US contolled Iraq for its growing energy needs.

A debate in parliament would be vital to develop a consencus in country and in my views the goverment should invite prominent defence experts and nuclear scientists in the parliament to clear the confusion.
