Glimmer of light at end of nuke tunnel
The Left is likely to give the green signal for the government to proceed with negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) for an agreement on India-specific safeguards. The concession, however, would come with a condition that the government would seek the Left's approval again before approaching the Nuclear Supplier’s Group (NSG) for clearance.
It has been reliably learnt that a compromise on the issue was reached between the UPA and the Left on Friday. The formal announcement of the agreement between the two is likely to be made in the meeting scheduled on November 16.
Significantly, CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat has toned down the hostility quotient in his most recent pronouncements on the UPA government, made in Kolkata. Former US secretary of state Henry Kissinger met West Bengal chief minister and CPI(M) leader Buddhadeb Dasgupta in a closed door meeting that lasted 50 minutes.
and the quid pro quo china extracted from sonia on her recent visit is: (take one or all)
a) arunachal pradesh
b) the dalai lama's head
c) nepal
what an outcome: manmohan gives china a lot of concessions, so that manmohan can then give the US a lot of concessions.
end result: india's nuclear weapons program is terminated. china has no potential rival in asia. india has to beg america to let australia give it uranium for the expensive white elephant reactors it has bought from american for $40 billion. meanwhile china and australia work out a deal whereby australia gives china all the uranium it wants. reason: china threatens to stop buying coal, wheat, etc. from australia otherwise.
this is the November Surprise we have been hearing a lot about.
