India Tells US not to Interfere in Iran Pipeline Deal

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.

” America would give a shit. “

Yes precisely. Only US would give a shit. BTW if you havent yet got my point. Re-read post #76. One of the poster was trying to use some kinda silly scare tactics (like to stop H-1B visas etc) to get us to submit......and my point was ....... nobody would give a shit.

Do you get my point?

So I guess you wont have a problem with the undersea pipeline route that doesn't pass through Pakistan since the BJP supports it?

“I don’t see BJP leaders traveling to Pakistan and gushing about how the “peace pipeline” will create “interdependencies” between India and Pakistan like the commies are.”

You forgot how Vajpayee (under US pressure ) went to Pakistan to lick Nawaz Sharief’s ass and talk about peace process and how his own General Musharraf stabbed India in the back by attacking Kargil at the same time?

I think you misunderstand. These are not scare tactics. Ending foreign aid and kicking hostile aliens (like you) out of our country is not an attempt to make you submit, it is what we really want.

Now you are the one kissing Musharraf’s ass. You want India to pay him billions just so you can hurt America. You’re a pathetic commie traitor to India.

Hostile aliens??! lol

You sound like one of those Mozlem loonies yelling on the streets of Delhi against Bush when he came to our country for a visit. People like you are of little importance in any country and should be ignored just like how President Bush rightly did in our country.

Aww pleez. Enough of all that cheap theatrics. What about America “hurting herself” by paying Mushy billions of dollars?

Who cares about Mushy, I just want the oil from Iran which ever way it comes. If there is a way to bypass Pakistan then all that better. Only you are pissing your ass out because I refuse to buy your moral rubbish on Iran. You need to get down your high horse.

Since you didnt answer my question, let me repeat it:

Would you have a problem with the undersea pipeline route that doesn’t pass through Pakistan since the BJP supports it?
