SAD ducks but BJP accepts Cong challenge

JALANDHAR: While the SAD has not yet responded to the Congress challenge of holding an open debate over the issue of nuclear deal, the BJP has offered to accept it.

Punjab state chief of BJP Investor Cell, Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal, has said that as Congress spokesperson Bir Devinder Singh has thrown the challenge, the party should first clarify its stand on some vital and preliminary issues related to the deal. The Congress in place of creating wrong perceptions over the issue should first state how much energy requirements can be met through this civil nuclear deal, with the existing infrastructure and at what cost, apart from disclosing the cost-benefit techno-commercial analysis of the nuclear power with other sources of energy.
