US letter to PM on Iran
by Shridhar Iyer on May 04, 2007 02:49 PM

The other day MPs in Parliament reacted very strongly to the letter from US Senators to the PM on Iran issue. In Rediff site also I see angry postings by many on the subject.

There have been some resolutions in the UN on the Iran issue. India being a member of the UN is expected to honour such UN resolutions.

Indo-US energy agreement No.123 in under processing now. India's response to Iran resolutions, may have a bearing when it goes for approval. India badly needs fuels for its reactors for the power hungry nation. This should also be kept in mind, when we decide our response. The US Senators have only expressed their views. There is no compulsion that we should agree to whatever they have said in their letter.

Therefore it is India's responsibility to study the contents of the letter carefully, and take appropriate action IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATION and in accordance with our foreign policy.

Therefore let us come out of emotional outburst, and look into/study the matter carefully, and take appropriation action at the appropriate time.

With best wishes,
V.Srinivasan.
