Congress and Nuclear deal
by VENURAJA Bowenpalle on Jul 13, 2008 10:24 AM

Congress has done a good thing by going for the nuclear agreement even though it is a bit risky for the party in the coming polls.
You need to have a vision to lead a huge nation like ours which is as big as a continent.
You need that so called "paradigm shift" in thinking.
The country is badly in need of fuel and power.
We have thorium only and to develop nuclear reactors which can use thorium (we have plenty of it) at least it may need another two decades and may be more.
So if USA is ready to supply the required uranium and also spare parts for our nuclear reactors whenever necessary , under certain conditions then take the uranium.
You do need electricity after all.
All that talk of India losing its sovereignity is sheer nonsense,humbug.
Nobody can control India. India can not lean on anyother country. If it leans on any country even that country will also collapse.
Consider Mr.Manmohan Singh as a matured ,intelligent man,well read and also
a well known economist.
He is far better than these people called Prakash Karat or Sitaram Echury.

These communists also opposed computerisation tooth and nail when Rajive Gandhi talked about NIC and super computers.
They even opposed computerisation of railways, bringing computers under OGL and tax sops for the industry etc.,
I think the nation can repose faith in Manmohan singh's decision to go ahead with nuclear accord.
The coming US president in their next election may not support as much as Bush do.
