Parliament Bazaar - Nuclear Deal

We already have a spiritual bazaar and now have the Parliament bazaar, wah, Great to hear such thing but I really feel ashamed to hear all the news in the media about MPs being bought, sold, stooping so low, where is the “Self Respect”. Is this the land that produced great leaders and great gurus? Very very pathetic, how foreign countries will look India, what kind of respect an Indian can earn in a foreign land. Too bad.

If we don’t know something, then better listen and learn - instead, forming one’s own opinion is a disaster and this is what is happening in India. The opposition is portraying this nuclear deal as Manmohan-Bush deal. What they don’t understand is that this deal is between India and the World. This deal will help India to get the nuclear fuels from the NSG countries and in order to reach them we have to pass through US which is standing as a watchman in front of the nuclear room where all NSG countries are seated. US is only one of the players of NSG among the 45 odd countries.

All these MPs don’t think of India’s growth and development, the rate at which our economy is growing, we need a massive energy capacity and this can not come from Oil and coal alone. Even if we have to consider alternative sources of energy like wind, solar etc that can not meet the energy demands in next 15 or 20 years. Though at present, nuclear energy is less than 4% of our total installed capacity, by entering in to this deal, India can build more nuclear stations and can be assured of nuclear fuel from any of these NSG countries.

I like to quote the word of Anil Kakodkar, India's atomic energy chairman,
“The bilateral agreement for nuclear cooperation, also known as the 123 Agreement between India and USA will not hamper India’s ability to independently continue nuclear research and if we don’t sign this deal now, HISTORY WILL NEVER FORGIVE US”
