Govt must tell how it address Left's concerns, says Opposition
The BJP on Thursday accused the Manmohan Singh of deliberately avoiding a discussion on civil nuclear deal in Parliament and demanded that he should take the Parliament and the nation into confidence about how he hopes to address the concerns of the Left parties on the issue.
"What the Government thinks or plans to do with regard to the nuclear deal is not a private affair to be sorted out between the Left and the Congress. It concerns the nation and the Government cannot ignore the main Opposition party in this matter," BJP Parliamentary Party leader VK Malhotra told the mediapersons.
<b>He sought to blame the "delay" in Prime Minister Manmohan Singh making a statement in Parliament on the India-US nuclear deal for the turbulence in the country's stock markets.</b>
<b>"This delay has created uncertainty in the country. Sensex has plummeted. There is uncertainty in economic and other fields. He (Manmohan Singh) should make the statement as soon as possible," </b>Malhotra said.
He also demanded Singh disclose to Parliament how his Government would address concerns raised by its Left supporters on the nuclear accord with the United States.
<b>"The Prime Minister should take Parliament and the nation into confidence about his talks with the Left," </b>he said. The BJP leader maintained his party would vociferously raise its objections in Parliament over what it sees as a possible impact the nuclear deal would have on India's strategic options.
He said the Opposition would be satisfied only if Singh renegotiates the pact with the US in the light of the objections raised over the India-specific Hyde Act. Malhotra said his party would also seek a debate in Parliament on the Sachar Committee report as he accused the Government of an overdrive in Muslim welfare scheme.
<span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>"The Government is trying to cover up the loss of Muslim support, which it has suffered because of 123. It is trying to come out with a heavy dose of appeasement measures. There should be a debate therefore in Parliament on the issue."</span>
Malhotra said his party would also seek a discussion on prices, farm issues and internal security.
