New Delhi, Jul 5 : said.

Meanwhile, the UNPA made it clear that it will move ahead without the SP and reiterated its opposition to the nuclear deal. “When the UPA came to power, these people (SP) supported them despite bearing humiliation. They were also running the government in Uttar Pradesh with the

support of the Congress,” INLD leader Om Prakash Chautala said.

In the meantime, CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat told reporters at Kolkata that the Left is still waiting for a confrmation from the government on the deal. “We have sent a letter to Pranab Mukherjee on Friday and we are waiting for his reply,” Karat said before a meeting with CPI(M) leader Jyoti Basu....

BJP will only bring rudeness and disorder if one goes by the proceedings of the erstwhile Lok Sabha session July 21 and 22, when confidence motion of the PM was carried. Bharatiya Junk Party will suit the name of BJP better. India will never approve of NDA or the other concoction of BSP, TDP and the communists etc. They were grounded that day and they will remain there for the next 10 years hopefully. With turncoats of leaders who call Jinnah a secular politician, it is unreasonable to expect support of the Bharatiya people. We have other hopes for this country for achieving progress by being sincere friends of USA. You can be friendly and independent only with that country. When some one said democracies are natural friends we, India and the USA qualify . As for the challenge of the BJP , there will have to be an amendment to the constitution to demand confidence on a daily basis.

» Advanis pontification
Posted by Nyayaman on 2008-07-26 09:52:30.758403+05:30
Advaniji, the Think Tank of BJP,revels in his pontifications!As far back as on 6th July,2008, he has declared that "the govt. has been reduced to a charade"(which means'absurd pretence')."It has lost the moral legitimacy to govern!"..."The Govt. should immediately convene a session of Parliament and seeka vote of confidence!"The PM very religiously didasthepontiffdirected. And on 22nd July, 2008 the PM won the trust vote. 8 BJP MPs voted for the Trust vote and to add to it, the BJP created a stir by bringing in a travel bag full of currency notes alleged to be the gratification offered by ruling party! Has Not Advaniji lost his moral legitimacy to continue as "PM in waiting"? Should he not resign from the post of Leader of the Oposition?

Mr. Nyayaman is thinking what an average indian is expected to by the whoever who has paid for the votes in the parliament. He cannot think for himself what the end result of the defeating of the No Confidence Motion and what the effect is. The congress have promised to America that 14 out of the 22 nuclear reactor functioning in India have to have international oversight inspection by a foreign body permanently. In a way India has promised America for a moratorium on nuclear testing. It has also promised permanent safeguards in perpetuity which is very detrimental towards the on going nuclear power programme conducted by India. In a way we are not gaining any thing in this deal except nuclear slavery before America. America has got the services done by their mole in the Indian Administration.

» Majority in LokSabha or National Referrendum?

After 1947 we have reached a critical cross-road when we have to decide who are "We people" and "Who represents peoples'will?"In the fracrured Lok Sabha where horse-trading is going te the decision-maker, let us rationally think of a wise way out.The mojority in the Lok Sabha in its present fractured and demoralised state is just illusionary.Nuclear Treaty poses a basic issue whether it is going to solve our defence and energy problems on long-term basis and is in our national interest.The humble suggestion is that the Cabinet shoud advise the President to hold a national referrendum to ascertain the genuine peoples' will. Ask people to vote for the Treaty "YES or NO".

Mr.Amar Singh, Please tell us with absolute honesty, with the present situation of SP in its home turf,if Left front has not withdrawn its support to the UPA, what stand would SP have adopted. Hope, you won't brush aside this question as hypothetical to evade a straight forward answer.

Will Mr.Advani recall that in 1996,BJP formed its first Govt. without needed numbers! No party wanted to support the communal party.The Govt. sought'vote of confidenceon the 13th day!The debate lasted two days.At the end Atalji declared that he was going to Rashtrapathy Bhavan to hand over his resignation! The left has not withdrawn its support yet! Why the "PM-in-waiting" is in such a big hurry? Does he reflect over the scenario heis trying to create? Now that SP has decided to save the UPA govt.,the scene has changed altogether! In the ensuing elections, Congress wii be deemed the Warrior who crushed the Reds and will win with a larger margin of votes. will not the public suspect his playing cool to Mayawati?
