Left ups ante, Congress puts on a brave face- Hindustan Times

Left ups ante, Congress puts on a brave face- Hindustan Times

After going through the statement made by the Prime Minister in the Parliament on August 13, 2007, I have two questions for Dr. Manmohan Singh:

(1) Do you have any objections to the fact that India's actions will come under the scope of U.S. Law?

(2) Are you more interested in securing a place for India among the 2nd tier countries in the world or 1st tier of countries?

Please allow me to explain to you what do I mean by 1st tier countries. These are the countries that can have an independent foreign policy without any interference by other members of the United Nations. The 1st tier nations are the U.S, the U.K, Russia, China, France, Japan and Germany.

It seems to me that the 123 Nuclear Pact will put India into the list of 2nd tier countries. Mr. Prime Minister, please remember that moving from 2nd tier to 1st tier is almost an impossible task. Pt Nehru, Smt Indira Gandhi, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri and Shri Atalji all had the option of taking India to 2nd tier but they chose not to because India deserves a place among the 1st tier countries.

Rest is upto you.!!!
