Karat & Co who never forgave the US for winning the cold war. So now Karat & Co would "stick" it to the US even if it means harming India's interests. Only China, Pakistan and the "Indian" Left are opposed to the nuclear deal. Any Indian but a communist creep can do the math of that anti-India threesome. For the record, there is nothing in the agreement that requires India to assist the US attacking anybody; India has full reprocessing rights under the deal. And most importantly India breaks free of the technology denial regime that was imposed under NPT. China has ordered several nuclear power plants from the US and western companies so that it can continue to power up its economy while the Left in India would prevent the country from breaking free of its nuclear shackles and thus keep permanently hobbled vis-a-vis China.
What is really disconcerting in this whole episode is the shameless capitulation of Congress to the blatant blackmail of the Left. Such cowardly surrender to Left diktats has been going on during the entire duration of the regime and yet this is by far the most damaging episode for long-term Indian interests. Manmohan Singh has lost his honor and position of respect in the eyes of Indian people. Sonia Gandhi has proved that she only cares about ensuring the future position for her family. Finally, none of the political parties care about India%u2019s future and that includes BJP as well given its glee at govt%u2019s discomfit and refusal to come to deal%u
