Back in the year 2005, when i was pursuing BSc at Vel's College in Chennai, i preferred to stay in the hostel. But, to my amazement the conditions in the hostel were not fit for survival. Yukk food and erratic hostel inmates and so on... It was then I realized that unless i keep myself engaged with something or the other, the hostel nightmares will keep on haunting me. So, i subscribed to Indian Express newspaper and within no time started relishing it. I was not having any idea of nuclear deal till, i started reading the newspaper and it was then i came across the "Nuclear Deal" controversy.
In the year 2005, Manmohan Singh (MMS) signed an accord with the US president for the supply of Nuclear fuel to India. Since then, there has been lot of "Halla and Gulla" over this deal by the so called Left parties. Back in 1974, we conducted nuclear tests to show the world that Indians doesn't lag behind in nuclear capabilities. Since, then there were embargo against us and the Nuclear Supplier Group (NSG) were not allowed to supply nuclear fuel to us. Again in the year 1998, when Honorable Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee was the prime minister, we conducted nuclear tests and after that we were severely starved of the nuclear fuel for our reactors.
Down the line several years passed on and India surged ahead on the road map of growth and development. Due to ever increasing population of our country, power became a critical factor for growth. Already the fuel was in short supply and we were running out of time to replenish the reactors. This Indo-US deal was supposed to be a landmark deal which will help India produce certain amount of power which in turn help in bridging the gap of demand and supply.
Dr. Manmohan Singh, who himself is a reformer, has transformed the economy of nation is coming to terms when it comes to Nuclear deal. The UPA government is supported by some MPs of left parties and their support is critical for the survival of government. Left parties has been opposing the deal for quite sometime and they do not want this deal to be operationalized. There fears are, that we'll not be allowed to conduct nuclear tests once we sign this deal, our foreign policy will be dictated by the US.
I don't know the specific reasons why left parties are opposed to this deal, simple funda- they want to humiliate Dr Manmohan Singh and in turn want to grab the limelight by projecting themselves as the only concerned party for the growth of nation. There only intention is to be pro Chinese, since they draw their ideologies from China. But, they are not aware of this startling fact that China themselves have one nuclear treaty with US. The bosses sitting in China are directing the left parties in India to block the progress of Indo-US nuclear deal, by hook or crook.
Our potential threat in the current scenario is China and they indirectly (read left parties) have been blackmailing the Union of India by stalling major economic decisions, reforms process, SEZ and the nonsense "Bandhs" & "Hartals" against the petro price hike. I have been forced to think, why left parties shed crocodile tears all these years from 2004 till 2008. Everytime, the government thought of some developmental work, they were the first ones to raise hue and cry, threatening to pull out from the government, which they never did. ( They also knew, once they are out of the government, in the next Lok Sabha elections they will not get even 10 seats).
Talking in the context of Nuclear deal, the Russian ambassador in New Delhi urged India to sign the deal with the US to enable Russia to step up its interaction with India in the nuclear arena. No wonder Russia is the competitor of US, but still they are supporting our cause. Yet our communist parties claim that the Indo-US deal is just a cover for India voluntarily subjecting itself to US strategic goals. This charge is so absurd that it is necessary to probe deeper into the real purpose of the Left’s opposition to the deal. I hope the Chinese role can be self explanatory for Left's behaviour.
To sum up, we need this deal very badly for our fuel starved nuclear reactors. As India is growing, her power needs are also multiplying. So, rather than indulging in petty politics of being an anti American, let's keep our fingers crossed for the clearance of this deal and after that India will be on song and it will usurp to become supreme nation....
hey guys i got this from internet.
