Split personality of CPM – Nuclear Deal

On and off on the record, the Communist Party of India (CPM) has been supporting and opposing the Indo-US nuclear deal. As the first stage of operationalizing the deal, India has started negotiating with the IAEA, the safeguards aspects of the deal. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is also playing its own game by asking the Prime Minister to intervene during the on-going debate on the deal at the Rajya Sabha. One of the so-called specialists, is cautioning the government about the possibility of the restrictive clauses of Hyde Act and the 123 Agreement in the safeguards pact.

As per the results of the opinion poll of a leading news paper in India, the Indian “janata” wants the deal to come through so that the environmentally clean nuclear power sector can contribute significantly to the Indian power mix in the future. At the same time, let the Thorium Fuel Cycle take a leading role in nuclear power programs being envisaged by the country.
