After Brajesh, Venkaiah says n-deal must be done but with national interest in mind

MUMBAI: On the day The Indian Express reported that Brajesh Mishra, National Security Advisor in the BJP-led NDA government, has said he would let the Indo-US nuclear deal go ahead if he is convinced that the country’s strategic weapons programme is safe and intact, BJP leader Venkaiah Nadu said “the deal must be done” but it has to be “in national interest”. Criticising the Left for being anti-US and pro-China, Naidu said the BJP was not “anti-America” and “we want good relations with America”. Naidu’s remarks came a day after US Ambassador David C Mulford met Leader of Opposition L K Advani in New Delhi in an attempt to reach out to parties opposed to the deal.
