Govt launches media blitzkrieg on N-deal

Govt launched a media blitzkrieg seeking wide national support for the Indo-US nuclear deal on which the Left parties have withdrawn support.

NEW DELHI: Government on Saturday launched a media blitzkrieg seeking wide national support for the Indo-US nuclear deal on which the Left parties have withdrawn support.

Carrying pictures of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi, the well-spread advertisement in leading dailies read, "the Nation now needs to unite and support the government for the economic growth and better future of the country".

The advertisement quotes Chief of the Atomic Energy Commission Anil Kakodkar as saying "history will not forgive us if the deal is not clinched...sooner the better (the nuclear deal should be executed)".

The insertion by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas seeks public support in the wake of concerns over soaring prices of crude oil.

It lauds the government for "its persistent diplomatic efforts... in securing support of the international community".
