Mayawathiji, Muslims are not against Nuke deal
by jamsheed abumohammed on Jul 02, 2008 08:04 AM Permalink | Hide replies

Its Mayawathi's turn now to play Muslim card to demonstrate her opposition to UPA Govt. She says the Nuke deal was anti-Muslim and that she may lose the vote bank. The same fear was haunting our communists friends too and that is why they are opposing tooth and nail.Why Congress and allies are risking such a deal that will alienate Muslim support to them which was there all along, is the big question mark. Perhaps they have read the mind of the minorities well and as true patriots Muslims are they would not oppose any deal that would benefit the country. This is the correct reading of the Muslims attitude towards problems concerning the country.But political parties are setting their agenda separately. They are inciting something which was not their in the minds of the Muslims at all.This is purely a vote bank politics,to sway Muslims votes in their favour in the next elections. BJP too is closely watching the utterances and reactions of the leaders,and they too followed it by opposing the deal. The fear is common. That is they do not wish to antagonise 350 Muslims living in India,forming the biggest tilting vote bank.The fear may not be altogether unfounded as some may try to make it a political plank.The Iran gas pipeline which is sure to benefit India,if hastened would definitely earn the wrath of the White House in US.The rush for the US deal is one such reason to dissuade India from going ahead with the gas pipeline with Iran,a staunch enemy and war with it is imminent.

dr friend

ur views r balanced. manmohan government

will not only sign the indo-nsg agreement

and will also clinch the iran deal

provided iran agrees to one vital

requirement of india i.e. to deliver gas

at indo-pakistan border. i believe

both agreements will be clinched

before the next elections. both r in

our national interests and required for

energy security. the concern on the

safety of the pipeline passing through

northwest frontier area of pakistan

( a turbulent tribal area of that country )

cannot be taken for granted. hence the

need to deliver at our border. it may also

be remembered that iran has renegated on

an earlier agreement on the price of gas.

still we have to live with this menace

for our energy requirements and to

meet the security challenges systematically

posed to this country by monster china

and their agents here.

long live indo-pakistan-iran,indo-usa

cooperation.indian government has no taboos ;

they will do business both with iran and u s a.

they should in national interests.

Indian Muslims are/were silent >>
1) When Kashmiri Pandits were made homeless.
2)I do not see any muslim leader talking about progress in India ( Industrial / economic)
3) Most of the muslim leaders are seen talking about relegion only.
4) I wish they show more wisdom and vision than MAYAWATI.
5)they should come out openly and talk what India needs to remove caste/relegion barriers.
6) They should talk about education of Muslim women.
7) They should talk about Pollution control.
8) They should talk about uplifting the poor.

I do not hear it from PDP or from NC or Abdullah Bukhari.

I appreciate Azim Premji / Sharukh khan / Irfan pathan they are Modren India Muslims.
