YOU SAID IT
Dr.Manmohan singh had taken upon himself the task of promoting US interests in India. He was so emotional about the Nuclear deal that he did not waver to compromise on principles when he sought to face the challenge that arose out of withdrawl of support by the left by engaging the support of the patriotic Samajwadi Party. Dr Singh categorically stated in Parliament that 123 agreement and Hyde Act are domestic acts of USA which have no bearing whatsoever on our nuclear deal. NSG has given a clean waiver to us the PM had told Parliament. The New Secretary of State Hillary came to India recently and the timing of the twist to events was so embarrasing for PM that he had nothing to offer by way of credible explanation for the sudden insistence on signing in to Non proliferation Treaty by G-8 countries for un interrupted fuel supplies is inconsequential. PM still managed toput a brave face even though our Nuclear Scientist Anil Kakodkar had felt the changing of goal post is a serious let down. Then came the controversial Enduse Monitoring agreement on supplies of defence equipment. No supplier of arms and ammunition has ever insisted on enduse monitoring agreement. This condition is not applicable to our neighbour Pakistan who gets loads and loads of weapons from the US. Even now PM refuses to admit his mistake but maintain that the monitoring would be subject to mutual acceptance of site, date etc. This serious encroachment on our national security by vested interests has to be exposed to the nation. BJP and Left Parties did a wise job and that included PM's stauchest supporter of Nuclear deal Samajwadi party who were offended by the refusal of supply of gas to Anil ambani by his brother who they suspect has the blessing of the ruling dispensation. The Prime Minister has misled the nation on a matter of vital national security and he needs to be reprimanded.
