Bhadrakumar - an ex Indian Foreign Service man - has been an Ambassador to Uzbekistan and Turkey.
Seemingly he is the JNU "Leftist Anti-USA Type" and thus a great supporter of the Iran-Pakistan-India Natural Gas Pipe Line which I and most of the Members of this Forum are against.
In this respect I would refer you to the following Article :
<b>A Pipeline Pipe Dream?</b>
Regarding the Iranian Gas :
1. Iran broke the deal last time under the Pretext that the Iran Parliaments Economic committee had refused to grant approval of the deal.
The real reason was that deal committed Iran to supply the Natural Gas at USD 3.5 per MMBTU for the next 25 Years whereas, I believe, the spot prices had more than doubled.
2. Now Iran is changing the "Fields of Supply" to un-named and un-certified fields.
This does give one the "Heebie Jeebies" with a loss of faith in the Iran's ability or willingness to perform
If there was any other alternative one would opine that the Indians should not touch the Iranians with a Barge Pole.
Let us see how the Cookie Crumbles.
