The author is right in many way but also he forgot that Man Mohan Singh has refused to show the IAEA deal to even his cabinet members. Left has asked for it but could not see it. Naturally they smelt rat. The mistake was made by the media who are saying continusly that the Left is against the 123 Deal to please China, but BJP is against it to please India. The media as usual is against the Left, so it has created this image. Also, some statements made by the left leaders to the media was amplified to show left is pro-Chinese, but in reality China is not at all against 123 Treaty but will be very pleased when India will sign its oqn death sentence.
Yes, Left made the mistake. Left should have said the same things as the BJP; in that case media could not misinterpret the Left.

Hmm, but darling Bose, the left does not even consider China a threat to India. Look what that left wing tosspot, Beijing Bidwai wrote - "China has not so far treated India as a nuclear adversary:"
So as far as left wing tossers are concerned China is not even a threat.

Bidwai is not really a left, but a pro-Chinese and against nuclear weapons. However, One need to remember that Natwar Singh was sent to South Africa in 1998 to declare that The Congress Party is against India having nuclear weapons. This is the real issue, not the electricity.

Bidwai is not REALLY a lefty, interesting. Well here is something else the left wing tosser said (oh yeah he is a lefty all right, despite your attempts to disown him), he said - "Clearly, the God of neo-liberal market-fundamentalism has failed. Rather than dynamic growth, wealth and prosperity, it is producing recession, sleaze, crime and destitution."
Well if that does not sound like a lefty fundy little tosspot, I don't know what does.
The commoners (especially the lower middle classes), convinced by large sections of the media, think that the left in India is just a front for Chinese interests. Cant find fault with them taking such an assumption if one were to read only what they read in some of the 'mainstream' papers.
However, it has also been reported by these same papers and also by the electronic media that China, alongwith other members of the NSG, has agreed to give it's consent for the nuclear deal between India and the US without India signing the NPT (such consent is required by mandate from every member of the NSG) !!!
That is a tough one - China asking it's supposed lackey in India, the left to sabotage the deal, then deciding to become a party to that same deal itself !!!

Mr Sibby Mathews,
This is the game played by china..china knew very well that their slaves (left) will sabotage the deal. They did not think that SP will support the deal once left pulled the rug.

But off course the Chinese can "afford" to support India on this. They know there are enough traitors in India to try and sabotage the whole deal.
Now where is that riddle you were going to give me ?

Traitors do not sabotage something that effectively leads to surrender of the sovereign rights of the nation.
If you are keen to spot traitors, it is not so difficult a job. They are all around us, present in varying degrees in every political party. And, the worst traitors are big time thieves, people who relentlessly impoverish the nation and the people with their corrupt ways. Only, the commoner has not recognised this fact - the way he ought to for his own well being.

Certainly in the case of Nuclear Deal and also in the case of GATT treaty Man Mohan Singh has betrayed the nation. Nuclear Deal will neutralise India against nuclear armed Pakistan and China. GATT treaty has exposed Indian market for the foreign multinational companies but India could not get the reciprocal treatment from the developed countries as yet. It is difficult for the ordinary people to understand these. That is the reason the Mainstream newspapers has only two weapons: (1) against the Left: they are Chinese agent, although China is supporting the DEAL (2) against BJP: they are playing games only.
The Media is hiding the real issue from the people, as it did before 1962. The Media never said anything about the betrayal by Nehru to the nation.

"Traitors do not sabotage something that effectively leads to surrender of the sovereign rights....."
Dunno about that one sonny, but here is a very common definition of traitor -
"a person who commits treason by betraying his or her country."
