Clause 103-b-4 states "Secure India’s full and active participation in United States efforts to dissuade, isolate, and, if necessary, Sanction and contain Iran for its efforts to acquire weapons of mass destruction, including a nuclear weapons capability and the capability to enrich uranium or reprocess nuclear fuel, and the means to deliver weapons of mass destruction."
The clause is pro-India. We cannot have another nuclear neighbor. China & Pakistan is bad enough.
This clause is the reason why the Left and BSP term the agreement as anti-Muslim. The question is why the BJP joins them in opposing the deal - for a few Muslim votes?

The BJP is not opposed to the deal in fact they will sign it in a matter of days if they come to power. They are deriving political profits by not supporting Congress.

What I mean is that in the name of National Interest the major political parties of India can work together and ensure the deal goes through. You cannot imagine how much China and Pak have spent to block this deal. We are almost a superpower and this will make us one in a matter of years. We need power to grow. But the BJP wont back the deal now. It will wait for the govt to collapse, try and win the election in the name of religion and anti-incumbency
