Advani, lead the way

The left is blackmailing the Congress on purportedly the Nuclear-deal but actually on their Anti-Americanism. While the BJP has consistently maintained that it was not against the nuclear-deal per se but only against some clauses in it, the impression was the BJP was opposing just for the sake of opposing and in the process imperiling our growing friendship with USA. It is well that Advani has now come out to clearly say that all that is required is an amendment in the Indian Atomic Energy Act to ensure that India’s sovereignty is not compromised in the deal. He has also pointed out that while the 123 agreement USA has with China says that the 123 agreement will override all national laws, the 123 agreement with India gives each nation the right to frame its stand to safeguard its national interest.

Advani, the great communicator. May he come on the centre-stage.
