Back Iran vote

Kudos to the Government on calling the bluff of some of its coalition partners on domestic and external fronts, on policies relating to Iran and the modernisation of airports. We are living in a world of double standards.

The West is interested in preserving its hegemony in nuclear missiles, while controlling their proliferation in other countries.

It is certainly not in the interest of India for one more country to join the nuclear club. Hence its vote in the IAEA against Iran is understandable.
