I am not more knowledgeable than A P J Abdul Kalam. I prefer to believe him. He does not have to gain any thing now. He supports the nuclear deal in spite of the fact that most of the Muslims are dead against it.
Even a person like Mr. Manmohan Singh is risking his position of Prime Minister just for this nuclear deal. He does not have any personal gains. He thinks of the future of the country. When he introduced the reforms in 1991, the Left were dead against him even then.
As far as Communists are concerned, even their leaders know that the deal is good for the country. But these leaders cant approach their ignorant comrades who get allergies as they hear any thing related to US. If the deal was with Russia or China, you can imagine the joy of them. Any way the Communists are always some years back in their thinking. EMS and his comrades took around 50 long years to accept that opposing Quit India movement was a blunder committed by them. You know about their agitation against the introduction of computers. What happened? The people like you and me have decent jobs today.
You may also remember their agitation against GATT. The ignorant people were told Indians are going to be the slaves of America. What happened? Are we slaves today?
