New Delhi, May 9: India has told the United States to keep its hands off the issue of Iran gas pipeline and declared that it will take a decision in the matter in accordance with its energy needs and national interest.
This assurance was given in Parliament on Tuesday by Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas Murli Deora.
He said India would not be cowed down by the threat of the US or any other country in pursuing its energy policy.
Deora said the US Energy Secretary was recently in India and the Government told him that it was none of America's business to advise what India should do on the pipeline issue.
The Minister's response came while replying to a supplementary by Brinda Karat of the CPI(M) who referred to a letter by a US Senator in which he was reported to have cautioned India against going ahead with the plan to construct a gas pipeline up to Iran.
She said the matter was very disturbing and the US attitude amounted to interference in the sovereign affairs of the country.
She demanded that the House wanted an assurance from the House that it would not bow to foreign pressure.
“He said India would not be cowed...”
That is very funny.
Whats so funny?
Maybe the US should cut off the H1-B and outsourcing pipeline to India.
Murli Deora is just securing his countrys energy concerns. thats his job
Cowed the respect for cows
India is s great and diverse country. Attempting to dictate the US is ridiculous.
That could have worked........... if only had it been the US government that was outsourcing those jobs.
WE do have cultural differnces and they often make us have misperceptions
He’s also securing $600 million a year in tribute payments from India to Pakistan to “guard” the pipeline. India should instead focus more on producing nuclear energy with US assistance and less on sacrificing their own national security in order to buy energy from jihadists.
Ok
but what not ask her.....

And those talks are in progress.
Thats not even funny.
THere you go.
India is quite a challenge, they have communism within thier Gov. They have others that want to come to the table
There is an ocean of understanding to cross.
That advise would have made sense had US herself not been buying oil from Saudi Arabia or selling weapons to Pakistan.
It will be India who is buying weapons for Pakistan if they go through with this moronic plan to fund the Pakistani army.
