Left Bloc's opposition to N-Deal

A lie repeated a hundred times, with the same fervour of truthfullness, begets public acceptance as truth. Unfortunately, in the realms of Indian politics, this ploy has emerged as the singlemost commonality between political parties irrespective of their coordinates in the political spectrum.

The promises on secularism, democracy etc. are just rhetorics to give a rational, humane face to actions that have vindictive underlying objectives. Which is, as far as the Left Bloc's opposition to the N-Deal is concerned, to turn deaf to all rationalities, be inconsiderate to all practicalities and turn blind to economic eventualities of a fall-out and let themselves, and the people they claim to represent, be led solely by the long-time political dogmas and inhibitions associated with countries party to the deal.

Its ironic that while China, with its communism, and US, with its capitalism, agree to march ahead hand-in-hand, do business and narrow their disjoint political visions for the sake of practicality and growth, our politicians, most of them proclaimed communists and self-confessed admirers of the Chinese version of communism, think it prudent to block the deal just because it involves a nation state not known to endorse their political vision or philosophy. It's NOT imperative to me whom our "communists" serve.
