  • Time is critical and crucial for nuke deal, says Congress

    New Delhi (PTI): Noting the immense benefits of Information and Technology revolution, Congress on Sunday night said that the opportunity for ushering in a multi-dimensional change in the country in view of the nuclear deal should not be overlooked of by Lok Sabha MPs during the trust vote on July 22.

    "Next 10 to 15 years there will be a nuclear revolution in India. Similar to the IT revolution existing now creating employment potential and GDP. Fifteen years from now people will be thankful to those who have sowed the seeds with this nuclear deal," AICC media department Chairman M Veerappa Moily said in a statement.

    In the 80s, late Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi ushered in the IT revolution and the employment potential which was talked of those days on IT revolution has now become a reality. The vision of Rajiv Gandhi was fully realised, he said.

    "If India wants to be the 2nd or 3rd largest economy in the world by 2050 we need to have the nuclear deal of the kind which is now before the country. Time is critical and crucial, If we don't act today, we may have to regret later," he said.
