Advani’s yes to n-deal forces BJP on mid-course correction

Meanwhile, speaking at the India-US Forum of Parliamentarians (IUFP), BJP spokesperson Ravi Shankar Prasad said there is a whole big world in Indo-US relationship, which we should not overlook. “Don’t judge the Indo-US relationship in terms of the success or failure of the deal,” he said.

Prasad said though the Left has an ideological problem his party’s concerns were different. “We don’t want to close the option of going in for a nuclear test when the time comes, specially because of our hostile neighbourhood”. “Indo-US amity was initiated by the NDA Government and if the Congress takes it forward we are sure to support it,” he said.
