Should the N-deal be seen as anti-Muslim?
A day ahead of the crucial meeting between the Left and the UPA Government, CPM politburo member and trade union leader M K Pandhe claimed Muslims are against the Indo-US nuclear deal. CPM leader Prakash Karat attended Shia rally in Uttar Pradesh to protest against India's vote against Iran at the IAEA as well as George Bush's visit to India. Analysts say the Left must not bring religious sentiments into foreign policy issues.
Thank God for the analysts, we'd otherwise have some serious trouble in our foreign relations with Azerbaijan during Diwali or a sudden thaw in relations with Mongolia during Ganesh Chaturthi. Religious sentiments are high during those times, you see.
More CNN-IBN fun.
What the hell?! This was actually on TV? How do they walk upright, without bumping their heads against things?
ReplyDeletePretty soon, we should see debates about "Should there be reservations for minorities in public toilets?" , "Do Christians support India's friendly relations with Maldives?" and "Are Muslims happy with the weather?"
