Kerala Assembly In a significant development Kerala assembly has condemned the Indo-US nuclear deal by passing a resolution on Friday. Kerala is being ruled by a Left government .Congress had withdrawn from the debate and only the ruling LDF MLAs had taken part in the voting adopting the resolution only after 15 minutes’ of debate. N-deal was condemned by stating that it is against the interests of the nation. While the Congress led Central government has initiated the deal process the Kerala state Congress members abstained from the debate on the issue in the state assembly. It was totally a contrary approach of the state unit of Congress as compared to the stand of the party leaders in New Delhi.

Opinions All the political parties that are opposing the government have condemned the deal by saying that it will turn India into a satellite country of the US. N-deal is not a simple issue that Congress led government has decided to go ahead on their own. Every Indian is concerned with it because Indians have never compromised with their sovereignty. India is the country with the population of more than 110 crores and more that 50% of the population is the middle class people. This middle class population is having enough knowledge and education of the issue to deal with. Every Indian who has noticed the emergence of the nation’s economy understands what India’s energy requirements can be in next 50 years.

Fate of the Deal The way, Indian government has approached the IAEA with the draft of the agreement, has not been accepted by the people. When the government had been reduced to the minority it was morally wrong to approach the IAEA on part of the government. All the questions Left parties have raised, are not politically motivated arguments. N-deal process is in its initial stages and it has to go through many tests. But first of all the Congress led government in New Delhi will have the pass the hurdle that left parties have created in its way. It will have to prove its majority in the Lok Sabha that will declare the fate of the –deal. July 21-22 are the dates when it will become clear whether the country is going ahead with the n-deal or to face early elections. If the UPA proves its majority on that day then India will go ahead with the n-deal. But it can not be said that the outcome of the majority test will be the public opinion on the Indo-US n-deal. World will have to wait till the next election for Lok Sabha to watch the opinion of the Indian public on the n-deal.
