The strategic partnership with the United States of America has started even before signing the Indo-US nuclear deal. They decide as to who should be the Ministers in the Indian Cabinet. You can claim that our country is an independent country. Shri Mani Shankar Aiyar's head has rolled from the post of Petroleum Minister because the United States of America did not like the method of his understanding and his attempt for an MoU with the Iranain petroleum companies for the gas pipeline. This is what we accused and we still accuse. This is not going to help India; this is not going to help our country to become self-reliant or following Non-Aligned Foreign Policy. Sir, I would like to conclude my speech by talking about two more important issues. I would like like to say that the allocating for Defence Budget has been increased. Shri Pranab Mukherjee was telling that in the fight against terrorism, we need more allocating. I agree that we do need more allocating but the Government of India miserably failed to control terrorism which is coming from outside and within the country. Here I would like to say that the Government of India should take note of the comments made by the Supreme Court on Salva Judum. Sir, there is no mention about this gas pipeline in the Budget speech. We could have certainly come out of the electricity crisis if the Iranian gas was provided to us. It was supposed to be one of the cheapest. Sir, the Right to Education Bill is pending for a long time. Only yesterday, we passed the Central Universities Bill.

It is a shame that the SC and ST people.
