nalapat: Manmohan stealthily works India’s nuclear surrender

mar 28th, 2007

nice work, UPA. before you're kicked out, you would have destroyed india's nuclear options.

fortunately, the idea that india too can unilaterally abrogate treaties has at least been mooted once or twice. this is an american specialty. and what are the americans going to do? invade? is that before or after they invade iran? and surely after they have 'won' in iraq and afghanistan?

India: US ally or target?
Manmohan stealthily works India's nuclear surrender

By M.D. Nalapat
 
Fortunately for their name in posterity, the country's official nuclear establishment has explicitly raised serious technical objections and efforts by Manmohan Singh and Montek Ahluwalia to crush on behalf of Sonia Maino have thus far failed.
For reasons best known to herself, the de facto Prime Minister of the UPA government, Sonia Maino Gandhi has apparently directed Manmohan Singh to agree to the extremely harsh conditions offered so contemptuously to this country by the Bush White House. As usual working in total secrecy, two drafts of the proposed "123" Agreement, have been formally exchanged, and both Manmohan Singh as well as Pranab Mukherjee are forcing the bureaucracy into embarking on a "conclusive" round of negotiations without winning any non-verbal and symbolic concessions from the US side. These discussions, will be held from March 26 to 30, 2007, and are ostensibly to "reconcile the differences that remain and work out the way forward" to the surrender of India's nuclear capabilities.
