Manmohan got N-deal at cost of common man: BJP

New Delhi, October 9:: Responding on predictable lines to President George W Bush's assent to the bill on Indo-US nuclear deal, the BJP and Left parties on Thursday said that history will prove that the accord was a "defeat" for India with Washington remaining "silent" on nuclear testing. But the Congress hailed the ....Read more

True. Common man is being sucked. Prayer for punishment to that individual and coterie.By: P. Suresh | Friday , 10 Oct '08 15:04:40 PM Reply | Forward True. Common man is being sucked. Prayer for punishment to that individual and coterie.

BJP View of Nuclear DealBy: Sunil Maingi | Friday , 10 Oct '08 8:21:33 AM Reply | Forward Will the BJP explain to the country that how is this deal bad for the country. This deal was initiated by the BJP when it was in power, and brought to a successful conclusion by the present government. Instead of making vague allegations, the BJP should make public the draft agreement made during the time it was in power, and then explain to us point by point the difference with the final document. The BJP should act like a responsible opposition, and not oppose for the sake of opposing alone. For it's narrow political ends, it has even disowned the then National Security Adviser. As for the right to tests, no country has done tests or a long time, as with today's technology these are not required to be done actually, but can be simulated in the laboratory. The party so vocal about the deal, has nothing to say about the mayhem created by Bajrang Dal in the states ruled by it or NDA constituents.

Nuclear Deal and BJPBy: Niranjan | Friday , 10 Oct '08 8:18:02 AM Reply | Forward Since when did the BJP care about the common man. When they were in power they had "Chintan Baithaks" in 7-star resorts, ordered private planes for all ministers, got all the luxuries that only rich people and rich nations can afford. So, now the BJP thinks of common man? Or is it "sour grapes"?

The nuclear dealBy: V K Das | Friday , 10 Oct '08 6:51:31 AM Reply | Forward Dear BJP, grapes are sour-come on grow up. National interest should take precedence over personal ego of a party. It is the same deal that you wanted to sign but could not but would have liked to. As for the Communists they never belonged to this country. Their loyalties lie elsewhere. They can be forgiven and forgotten but you the BJP cannot.

n-deal By: Machiavel | Friday , 10 Oct '08 0:21:17 AM Reply | Forward When you have a disease, you should not treat only the symptoms but go deep inside to cure the whole person with all his dimensions both psychological and physical.The same should apply here. What is deep inside is this fundamental fact: Sonia Maino of some distant land has no care for India and its people. she planted her man in every strategic area to corner India's wealth...while Chidambaram open the economical gate to foreign invasion in media, his counterpart in other ministries are doing the same to further open our market to colonial domination. When you know PATIL was planted as President and other criminals as Ministers, you know that everything here is about a peculiar democracy which is for the foreigners, by the foreigners and of the foreigners...No wonder than if you have a foreigner as the leader of an Indian party and is actually the real PM of India, what else can you expect than Indian national strategic assets (media) being bought by enemies of India?

Indo US Nuclear cooperationBy: D.A.Eswar | Thursday , 9 Oct '08 22:10:33 PM Reply | Forward If US attacks Indian atomic powerstations after 10 years when they dont like India millions of Indians will die. Surviving Indians will blame the present Govt for blunder.Forget nuclear energy.What is the anser of Govt. of India and supporters of this deal. No country prospered with US help.Look how Iraq Pakisthan Vietnam are destroyed and PMs and Presidents lost position and glory.The intelligent and scientists should not blidly support the deal just because they are followers of Congress party. Think of future of Indians.

Deal not a big deal---By: romesh.sharma | Thursday , 9 Oct '08 21:04:48 PM Reply | Forward Most people are too susceptible to the socalled achivement of political leaders which ultimately cut sorry figure in the long run.The deal is made a law and is signed but the exact contents of this deal aren't known to none and kept dubious.Certainly India needs such deals especially in this sector because of extreme lack of enrgy but how can media and most commentators can be sure about what President Bush assures verbaly and there are no written committments about India's freedom to test and evelop nuclear weapons as and when needed by the Nation.As the matter of fact Prez Bush had practically refused but failing economy and devasting deficits of USA compelled to compromise.Moreover,as always,the USA needs an obedient and weak Govt like of Congress/UPA.On the other hand the PM Singh and his Party will get a boost and give some reason to fight in the coming elections.Mr.Singh and his Govt was/is an utter failure.More surprising is how people can simply forget the most crucial problam

Nuclear BombsBy: Bijan Daruwala | Thursday , 9 Oct '08 17:27:23 PM Reply | Forward Do we need Nuclear bombs to safeguard our country as BJP claims??. A nuclear bomb was used twice and what distruction it caused. India tested nuclear bombs twice and we had to suffer in all scientific fields be it space or atomic energy. Did it deter China or Pakistan NO in fact Pakistan got its own Nuclear bombs with help from China. We got nothing from nuclear bombs except international isolation. The world respects India because of its culture, intellegent people and economic progress not because it has tested nuclear bombs.

sure we need By: G Sundar | Friday , 10 Oct '08 3:05:10 AM Reply | Forward Nuclear tests by India will deter China. We shouldn't forget our humiliation by China in 1962 was due to our weakness. Pakistan used every covert means to assemble a nuclear device and surely China actively assisted them. It is a wrong notion that our tests compelled Pakistan to go nuclear. They were trying to offset our numerical superiority for a long time. Our nuclear capability is one of the reasons the world started to respect us.
