: Congratulations to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on winning the confidence motion in Parliament. He is an able and honest Prime Minister. Indian MPs have been wise in voting to allow the UPA government complete its tenure. Now, India should endorse the Indo-US nuclear deal. It is to India’s long-term advantage. The communists are proved wrong once again. China would have been happy if the nuclear deal fell through. In fact, communist parties in India, with only 59 seats of a total Lok Sabha strength of 544, should not be allowed to dictate the future of India.

Prestige multiplier
The trust vote (‘Just what the doctor ordered’, July 23) goes far beyond a victory for the PM. It significantly elevates India’s prestige on the global stage.
