Nuclear Deal is not favourable to our country.

Do any one realize this , what the intellectuals say about nuclear deal,......

Terming the Indo-US nuclear deal as anti-people, noted social activists today asked Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to scrap it with immediate effect.

"The Indo-US nuclear deal is patently anti-people and will make India a strategic ally of American Imperialism in South Asia to impose its hegemony over Asia," they said in an open letter to the Prime Minister.

The signing of the Henry Hyde Act in December 2006 is logical interference of the content of the Act legally making India a junior ally of the US Imperialism, "confiscating and trunacating our hard earned sovereignty", they added.

"We therefore demand that the Indo-US nuclear deal be scrapped with immediate effect and the ongoing talks between IAEA should be called off immediately," the letter said.

Terming the deal "an outrageous instrument of recolonisation of India and Third world", they said when the deal comes through, it will grievously undermine the current global regime of the nuclear non-proliferation in gross violation of underlying principles of nuclear peace, workers, environment and women's movement.

They also rejected the proposition that the deal will enhance India's energy security and said nuclear energy is "prohibitively costly and intrinsically hazardous" and will distort India's effort towards cheaper renewable energy sources.

They suggested Singh that since India stands very low on human developme

Great piece of information...this is what the government wanted to hide from the people and the Communists are opposed to....The Nuclear Deal will be a big blunder and the Congress willing to lose power at the cost of the Deal and their subservient attitude towards the US is raising more questions about the integrity of the Congress Leadership and our hopeless PM. He failed both in the economic and strategic fronts in leading the country. The UPA lost an ally (the Left parties with 59 MPs) which supported it despite its differences just for the sake of keeping Communal Forces away from power without insisting any ministerial berth or lucrative post and now parties with 2 or 3 MPs are demanding cabinet ministership...Shame on the Congress which has led the country to this situation where the Parliament has become a MP Bazaar.

Congress has done one good thing in 5 years and that is the nuclear deal. Even Abdul Kalam and nuclear scientists have said that the deal is good for the nation. History will never forgive India if we fail.
Communists are traitors and BJP has become just like Congress opposing the deal just because it was done by Congress!! BJP will further lose its nationalist votebank this time.

People who fear America are fools.India is a strong country, a nuclear power and more than that we are a democracy. We are natural allies of the West. It is upto India to choose.We are not so weak that any nation in the world can force us and we should have that courage and confidence. Russia with sham democracy, China with worse than Nazi--communism and Pakistan and middle east with dictatorships cannot and should not be our allies.

We should stand with the west and participate in the fight against Islamic radicalism and Chinese killing Tibetian culture.. equivalent to Hitler's design against Jews

Under Hyde Act, India will have to help USA attack Iran

The prime minister also took the opportunity to defend the government's foreign policy record. The BJP and Left parties have been accusing the government of compromising India’s independent foreign policy by pushing ahead with the nuclear deal. The criticism has stemmed from the fact that the Hyde Act, the domestic law that governs the bilateral agreement between the two countries, very specifically asks India to help the US in containing Iran.
