A few hours before the Left rejected the deal, China had threatened that %u201Ceither the Indo-US nuclear deal or the Manmohan Singh government will fall%u201D. Was there any telepathy?
If any country had made the observation that China did, the Left and its camp followers would have been up in arms. The remark would have been considered interference in India%u2019s domestic affairs. Yet, there was not even a whimper in the Left quarters, much less criticism. They felt important by giving repeated statements about how India%u2019s sovereignty would be circumscribed if the deal went through.
