Not many people in India understand the minutiae of the nuclear with the US but the general consensus seems to be that it suits our needs. In any negotiation there is some give and take and in this case the balance seems to be about right. The nuclear scientists, who were dead against the deal originally, have now been won over and most journalists seem to be supportive. Unfortunately the BJP and the Communists are dead against it and there is talk of a snap general election. The criminal politicians are so focused on self gain that they have no consideration for the welfare of the country and the aam aadmi for whom they profess such devotion at every opportunity. The opposition is not there to oppose everything the government does but to keep a check on unfair legislation and any attempt at reducing the fundamental rights of the people. Unfortunately politicians hate to see their opponents gain any popularity for any good that they do and so will oppose what is good for the country for fear of losing the next election. This is cynicism and selfishness at its worst. If the BJP wants to be considered as a serious contender for the main party in government then it has to show that its priority is the welfare of India and not merely be a party of plunder as others have been. As for the Communists the suggestion is that they are taking orders from China which is an avowed enemy of India. Surely it is treason to take orders from India's enemy to cause grave harm to the country. Every country in the world including those which have got rid of the death penalty for murder still retain it for treason. There is uniform consensus that treason is a much worse crime than even serial killing. It is a shame for me that it is Bengal that has been electing these filthy traitors to power for over twentyfive years.
