In his article "Red Star Over South Bloc" in Times of India dated 9th June, Mr. G. Parthasarthy has excellently portrayed the antinational character of our communists, who have virtually held the UPA government to ransom, besides of course doing an excellent job as the unofficial representative of China, in the Indian establishment. While of late there have been other distinguished writers such as K. Subrahmayam etc., who have very convincingly argued through such columns in Times of India, about the necessity of concluding the Indo-US Nuclear deal, and ignoring all those who are hell bent upon sabotaging our national interests just to please their masters in China, the sad part is that the UPA itself is yet to muster that courage to go ahead and bite the bullet.
Well, given a choice PM Manmohan Singh would like call the bluff of the communists, but the real tragedy is that, he does not have the support of his allies who perhaps do not wish to face the elections earlier than scheduled, thus harming their selfish interests, and in the process to hell with our national interests anyway.
Who could miss the irony of Indian politics, when before the Karnataka election results were declared, messers Mulayam Singh and company began cosying up to the Congress, and even hinted at supporting the nuclear dewal, but after the results were announced, they did a U turn and went back to the communists to 'kiss and make up'?
Thus, God forbid, it would not be unrealistic to imagine that the next government the centre may also have the blessings of our communists, notwitstanding their patriotic credentials.
