India in process of making history by going ahead with deal
With the top Congress leadership closing ranks over the Indo-US nuclear deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Friday night said India is in the process of making history by going ahead with the deal.
Another highlight of the two-hour long meeting of the Congress Working Committee, the first after the Left withdrawal of support, was an attack on the Left parties by some members and veiled criticism of the Samajwadi Party by a member.
The apex policy making body of the party, which also heard External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, endorsed the deal and the Government's decision to seek a trust vote.
Presided over by Party chief Sonia Gandhi with the Prime Minister by her side, the meeting saw several members, including Rahul Gandhi, asserting that there was no need to be defensive on the deal.
Sources said Singh told the meeting that "we are in the process of making history" as the deal was a unique achievement and that was why many countries, including Pakistan, have not liked it.
Even western media was going to town impressing that India has got away very easily "without paying the price".
Rahul Gandhi reportedly said that the deal was in the national interest and if the Government falls on the issue then it is out of bad luck.

| Author: k.srinivasan 12 Jul 2008 | Member Level: Silver | Rating:  Points: 6 | It is really not clear whether the nuke deal is really in the interest of the country or it is another attempt by the egoistic american politicians to trap india, a potential nuclear power, in to submission.
The way the nuke non-prolifiration is being advocated is really defies all logic. If the countries which propogate nuclear disarmament are really serious, they should lead by example by dismantling their nuclear weapons and show the way for others to follow. Instead, they say that no new country should acquire nuke power apart from those that already have the nuke weapons. This is really absurd. How can you create a level playing field and create a sense of security into others ehen you have the weapon in your hand by propogating others to disarm, unless you disarm yourself first.
The government had not taken anybody into confidence in the nuke deal with the US. It had revealed the contents of the agreement to its allies, to the Parliament, to the top scientists of the field. The fears that the top nuke scientists have over the nuke deal are not properly addressed. In the confusion, the common man really could not come to a concrete conclusion, whether the nuke deal is in the national interest, or in the vested interest of somebody or some group.
Let us hope that the god will be with us and nothing wrong will happen to India, and India will not be loser.
