Nuclear deal was ruse to subordinate India to the US, DNA Mar 25, 2011,  By Nilotpal Basu | Mumbai The stream of almost unending revelations that comes out everyday punctures the credibility of the Manmohan Singh government.

It is difficult to recall any other period in contemporary political history where a government had come to face such a process of uninterrupted embarrassments. And it is in such a setting that four important states are going to elect their respective assemblies.

To start with, it was the series of scams. In each of these, the government tried to brush aside the specific facts on the floor of parliament. …..

But, perhaps, the more damning indictment was the account of the foreign policy drift. The WikiLeaks disclosures don’t bring out any new facts. Many of them had been raised earlier, even on the floor of parliament in the course of several debates on Indo-US relations and particularly on the Indo-US nuclear agreement.

By making tall claims of the urgent imperative of accessing additional nuclear energy resource as a life and death question for the nation, the first UPA government was just trying to hoodwink our people. That the civilian nuclear accord was merely a ruse to seal a strategic partnership and interlock a proud, independent nation into a subordinate relationship is established by these revelations.

No amount of protestation can absolve the government. The US government has admitted the cables are genuine
