BJP dares Congress to go ahead with nuke deal

"Why do they blame either their partners or the opposition. It is for them (Congress) to arrive at a solution," senior leader Jaswant Singh said. "Set your own house in order," the resolution while reiterating that the deal in the present form is unacceptable to the party and must be renegotiated.

Taking significantly hawkish positions on new democracy Nepal and in relations with China the resolution severely criticised the Manmohan Singh government on several fronts.

On Nepal, the party expressed satisfaction about the recent elections but noted that Maoists had only got about a third of the popular vote and that too through "intimidation."

"It is important that unity of policy and action, of all the democratic forces in Nepal be maintained," it said. Noting that the Maoists in Nepal have ties with Naxalites in India, he alleged this was a danger signal to the country whose vast stretches from North to the South is known as the red corridor.

On China, the party continued with its recent change of heart, taking a more RSS influenced line on Tibet and China. The BJP demanded that the Government desist from "heaping further humiliations on the country; that it immediately speed up the construction of infrastructure that our forces need for repulsing foreign troops in the Northeast, in particular in Arunachal and Sikkim."

It added that, "as India's security is inextricably entwined with what happens in Tibet and because of the civilisational ties that our country has had with them, the Government of India must come out clearly on the side of the people of Tibet in this hour of their oppression and trial."
