Drama For last one month political developments in India have aroused everyone’s curiosity to know what happens next. Every thing has happened like a sensational Hindi movie with dramatic turns. UPA has collapsed because of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s obsession to go ahead with the Indo-US n-deal and the Left parties’ determination to stop it at any cost. PM’s statement in the mid air while going to attend G-8 summit in Japan, Left’s decision of withdrawing the support to the UPA government and government’s signal to the IAEA Board of Governors to go ahead, are the twists and the turns that are similar to a well knit plot of some drama.

It clearly indicates horse-trading. Draft The draft India has submitted to IAEA is in itself ambiguous as some of its key clauses may raise questions. One clause of the draft that has raised questions is that India “may take corrective measures to ensure uninterrupted operation of its civilian nuclear reactors in the event of disruption of foreign fuel supplies.” But has not been clearly stated what these “corrective measures’” will be. Then there is Hyde act that is being seen as the threat to nation’s sovereignty. There is no doubt that India should not be dependent on any other country for the fulfillment of its energy requirements but it can not be done at the cost of sovereignty. It is everyone’s right to express its view. All the questions left has raised should be answered. Manmohan government has gone ahead with the n-deal in an undemocratic way. Government should not have gone ahead without discussions in the parliament because India’s future is concer
