India's foreign policy
by Anil on Feb 18, 2006 11:37 PM

Sir,
I am really surprised by the left parties' and SP's statements about the vote on Iran.They are virtually catering to narrow and parochial feelings.They feel that by supporting Iran they will garner Muslim votes. Nothing can be farther from truth.First of all the muslims are as much part of India as others.Their gut feelings are the same as any Indian.They feeel equally threatened by a belligerent Iran bent on narrow feelings of exporting extremist views and actions as any other Indian.Let us not forget.Every Indian be it a Hindu or a Muslim or a Christian will be equally affected by an intolerent state like Iran using its nuclear arsenal to blackmail the world.So let us leave this narrow view and support the international effort to contain Iran's nuclear bid.It is in our own interest irrespective of who is leading the cause, be it Us or Europe or Saudi Arabia.Truth remains as it is.I pray against all odds that good sense will prevail over thes self appointed custodians of Muslim welfare.Fact shows that they dont lift a finger to help any muslim in his need.They are keeping them backward so he will listen to him and take to the street at their call .
