The Left is pulling down the Govt. not for any people issue - it is not for price rise (about which they hold protests often), it is not for inflation or for unemployment,etc. It is for a non-people issue which does not immdly concern the common man in any way - to block a deal which is a definite necessity to help India come out of the 'Nuclear Apartheid' or the discriminatory nuclear regime, ensure energy security in the long term and become an acknowledged nuclear power. All this just because their favourite China is highly displeased with the deal and the terms India has managed to get from the US. Of course, China or the left is unlikely to acknowledege this openly again. Another major opponent of the deal is Pakistan who also wanted a similar deal with the US and has now finally decided to do it with China.
It takes amazing guts to do something like this - to stab the interests of one's own country and also hoodwink most people in the process. The left parties can only hope that people's usual ignorance on matters such as these helps them out in the next elections. The media has also failed in its duty by not explaining the N-deal and not fully exposing their pathetic and anti-national stand. The left parties have no locus standi to decide on India's strategic interests or the foreign policy. Can any other country's left leaning parties (Europe, Latin america,..) sink to such levels?

The country's major right wing party BJP has also not risen above petty politics throughout this crisis and is unlikely to come to the rescue of the UPA Govt in an election year. It is almost impossible for the BJP to get a better deal if it comes to power. They are so many people who will be working against that including Chinese lobbies who are just waiting for the Bush administration to go and the deal to go into cold storage.

If that deal is so good for the nation why BJP is not supporting it for the national interest. If the country will become the Ram Rajya by signing this deal why BJP is keeping mum. Have they uttered single word. OK you are saying that communists are this, that, etc.,if it is good for the nation then there are lot of other parties, why they are not coming forward to help the PM for getting it signed. People are always talking about the China. For your information China has already signed the deal where there is no hidden clause which lefts are talking about. Left has already intimated them to get it removed the hidden clauses and sign it but PM is not ready. Don't blame left parties, you have lot of time to sign the same. America will extend the date as per India's desire. No hurry burry in signing the same.
