The left is completely misguided....

Good article, the educated class of India should try to expose the left who never had India's interest in mind.

Today we have a news item in major dailies that China is actively considering a similar nuclear deal with Pakistan to counter the Indo-US deal. Inspite of this the puppets of China, the left, is opposing the deal with US for wrong reasons as they dont like India to deal with US. Even though the nuclear deal is flawed as it does not consider India's position which is surrounded by autocratic powers , it's in India's interest to go ahead with the Nuclear deal. For that to happen, with the fact that the deal cannot be re-negotiated with US as very little time left for the current US administration to pass the deal, UPA should try to deal with BJP (may be secretly) to support the deal and expose the left. But if that happens UPA government may fall. The Left is the only parties who opposed the nuclear test itself 1998 in support of China's criticism of the test. As such, it's better to call the bluff of the left, who enjoys veto every decision UP govt takes, and go for fresh elections in early 2008.

BJP INTERST IS ENEMY'S INTEREST
The Left should bite instead of barking," Malhotra, whose party had sought a vote in Parliament on the 123 agreement, said. "Empty rhetorics do not work.

"Former Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani had unsuccessfully sought support from CPI (M) leader Prakash Karat to BJP's call for voting on the nuclear pact.

The RSS too has challenged the Left to pull out support to the UPA over the 123 accord.

"If the Left is serious about opposing the nuclear deal in particular and the US hegemony in general, it has no other option but withdraw support to the UPA government," an editorial in Sangh mouthpiece Organiser said.
