None of these activists have had the intellectual integrity to make their case for nuclear constraints against India at home and challenge the logic of CPM’s opposition to the nuclear deal. Instead they have chosen to attack the nuclear deal, by hunting with the anti-imperialist Communist hounds at home and running with the anti-Indian nuclear ayatollahs abroad. Unable to convince their own governments to block nuclear cooperation with India, the Western opponents of the deal are trying to leverage our left to kill it. What better than get India to poke itself in the eye!
