Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh has once again reiterated the commitment of the government towards generating energy for needs of the country. The govt is committed to further development of energy both as an environment friendly source of power and as a means of widening the energy basket available. There is need to think seriously over the stern attitude adopted by the Opposition on the Indo-American civil nuclear treaty. All the four factions of the Left parties including CPI and CPM clearly said that they would oppose imposing treaty. The Left parties during the politbureau said that the UPA government was violating the common minimum programme by desiring to go ahead with the deal. At present 60pc of country's power generation is through coal whereas nuclear power accounts for only 3 per cent. A government which does not take care of the needs of its future generations is playing a traitor's role. What we are today is due to the planning done several years back. Hence Dr Manmohan Singh's concern for augmenting energy supplies. At the same time the generation of power through hydel methods is limited and dependent on good rainfall and storage of water in dams. Nuclear scientists opine that this agreement is finally the best for fulfillment of India's energy interests. In this condition, the objection of Leftists and other opposition parties is beyond understanding. Our neighbouring countries like China and Pakistan have become alert with this treaty and they have started its diagnosis. Finally, we can say that the treaty is in India's favour. Any opposition to this agreement is likely to benefit China and Pakistan. Left parties and NDA allies should consider over their attitude and strengthen the govt by their support for the treaty.
