Manmohan–Sonia Gandhi Tussle Forces India to Reject US Bids for IAF Deal

US have lost the battle for 10 billion contract to supply new-generation combat planes even U.S. President Barack Obama's paid visit to India to earn jobs for American a few months ago.

In connected move on Thursday, the U.S. Ambassador to India Timothy Roemer also announced his to leave his assignment as U.S. Ambassador to India by June 2011 citing personal, professional and family reasons, but insiders say that the dealing of air deal unsuccessfully was reason to say good bye to India.

Whereas, informed through statement that ,"We are reviewing the documents received from the government of India and are respectful of the procurement process.

"We are, however, deeply disappointed by this news. We look forward to continuing to grow and develop our defense partnership with India and remain convinced that the United States offers our defense partners around the globe the world's most advanced and reliable technology."

It is to remember that India and the United States signed a new A MoUrk for defense relationship in 2005 that also covered trade and technology transfer and collaboration to boost military ties.

Following are the Defence and Civil Nuclear Contracts awarded to US by India in Recent Times:

1. C130J aircraft

2. P8I maritime surveillance aircraft

Both deals were over $ 4 Billons along with Indo-US Nuclear deal which put this bilateral relation on fast track but this latest move by India is interesting to observe by geopolitics researchers, as there should be some all important message imbedded in this long lasting decision that time will decode.

As Indo- US friendship is based on give and take basis and also a marriage of conveniences, where every action is directly linked with equally forced reaction.

The Government led by Manmohan Singh which had shown one sided approach to rectify Indo-US deal by using all ethical and unethical ways , how same government can reject US pressure for $10 billion contract to supply new-generation combat planes to Indian Air Force ?

The Investigation by ABC Live indicates that now Indian Government has clearly divided into two blocks, one headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Second by UPA Chair person Sonia Gandhi and her royalists and US exit from $10 billion defence contract was resultant of this ongoing tussle between them.

Manmohan Singh is considered as close to US lobby where Sonia Gandhi’s Past and Gandhi-Nehru family closeness with Soviets which always fears US about Russia influence in nations of 1.2 Billions people.

Dinesh Singh Rawat Says ,

I do agree with this this resultant of Manmohan-Sonia Gandhi Tussle for PM ship for Rahul Gandhi

Hillary Clinton Terms WikiLeaks Releases As Source for Terrorist Attacks

Washington (ABC Live):US termed as "deeply disturbing" the release of secret cables by WikiLeaks and said the whistleblower website was "inviting" terrorist attacks by making public documents about some of the key infrastructures projects across the globe.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said release of documents possesses potential damage to US friends and partners.

"The illegal publication of classified information poses real concerns and even potential damage to our friends and partners around the world," she told reporters.

"I won't comment on any specific alleged cable, but I will underscore that this theft of US Government information and its publication without regard to the consequences is deeply distressing," she said in response to a question.

She said the US continues to address all of the challenges it presents and call on countries around the world and businesses to assist us in preventing any of the consequences that could either endanger individuals or other interests internationally.

State Department spokesman P J Crowley said the WikiLeaks was inviting terrorist attacks by releasing the cable that mention some of the key infrastructures projects across the globe identified by the US as vital for its national security interest.

"Without discussing any particular cable, the release of this kind of information gives a group like al Qaeda a targeting list. This is why we have condemned WikiLeaks for what it has done," he said.

"There are strong and valid reasons for classifying vital information, including the identification of critical infrastructure that is important to not only our society and economy, but those of other countries," he said.

My Views:

Wikileaks and US are two sides of same coin, in changed geo-politics conditions, US is trying to wash its old allies for new alignment in all different game from west to east.
