New Delhi, July 18: With trading of accusations and counter-accusations with the Left getting sharper ahead of the trust vote, the Congress on Friday charged them with suffering from ‘Stockholm syndrome’.

"They are suffering from the Stockholm syndrome, enjoying, even while they are suffering," Congress media department chief M Veerappa Moily said, asking the Left to come out of this.

"The Left seem to have adopted a destructive role. I appeal to them to play a positive role," said Moily.

Referring to an editorial in the CPM mouthpiece which said the Left party would do ‘anything’ to prevent the nuclear deal and the UPA government getting the numbers, Moily said, "what do they mean by anything, horse-trading. They are compromising the interests of the country".

He said, "even if the numbers of NDA, Left and the Bahujan Samaj Party are combined, they are no way close to the halfway mark".

Moily said these parties want to ‘destabilise the entire politics and democracy’ of the country.

Accusing the BJP of following a communal agenda, Moily alleged that the Left has joined the bandwagon.

Attacking the Left, the Congress leader asked, "we want to know from Prakash Karat as to when did the Left join the BJP family."

Referring to the meeting between the Left leaders and BSP chief Mayawati, he said the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister was facing charges before the Supreme Court. "Karat goes there and meets her. Is there no morality involved here?" asked Moily.

Left suffering from Stockholm Syndrome by Varind on 19 Jul 2008

In fact Left is suffering from its stupidness for supporting Congress led Coalition for long four years and they have to pay the price on the issue of Soaring prices, High inflation and on import of rotten wheat and keeping mum. N-Deal is one issue but the other issue will not only bring the UPA government down but will also hit the Leftist hard in the forthcoming elections. It is also worth mentioning here that Left suffered most from the "BJP coming into power Syndrome" and forgetting the plight of poor and the middle class. N-Deal issue is in limelight just to divert public attention from the important and major issues of Price rice, Inflation and Lawlessness.

Bravo! by Anurag on 19 Jul 2008

Bravo Veerappa Moily! Finally the Congress is giving to the Left what they deserve. Wish they had done this during the last 60 years. The Left and its slavish intelligentsia have had a stranglehold on India's institutions for the past 6 decades, and their self-flagellating ways are a chief reason why India and Indians in general are still so lacking in confidence when dealing with the world. Let's hope that these relics of history are consigned to their rightful place- the dustbin- where the rest of the world has already thrown them.

Kangrace suddenly realises the true nature of the seclular Bamponthis haha by Merappa Oily and Soniya Ghandey on 19 Jul 2008

Pot Calling the Kettle Black by Munnabhai on 19 Jul 2008

All politicians irrespective of their ideology are corrupt. BJP is purchasing MLA's in Karnataka and Congress MP's at the Center. The Left is no better. No need to talk about SP, BSP, TDP etc etc.

Left is Nationalist by umesh on 19 Jul 2008

The net result of the proposed nuclear deal is going to be more relaince on the west (US and Europe). Even today, Indian Government is taking most of its economic, political and religious decisions on the guidelines of Christian Imperialism. If we sign the nuclear deal, the US will twist our arms every now and then by imposing sanctions in supply of spare-parts and uranium. Moreover, significant amount of our country's wealth will be exploited by the US for their technological knowledge of nuclear power generation. Therefore, India should refrain from signing the agreement. Rather, it should develop other indigeneous technologies for power generation. I must thank the left parties for breaking up the unholy alliance with Congress.

Tragi-Comic Nuclear Drama by V.S.Venkatavaradan on 19 Jul 2008

Criminals are openly solicited without any shame. Senile MPs, MP’s who cannot spell the word ‘Nuclear’ and even MP’s in near coma are airlifted. Patriotism has also entered the field of Nuclear energy. Half of the population calls the other half as unpatriotic and the other half retorts with words or muscle in the same way. Bitter enemies join hands and bosom friends kick each other with an unprecedented brutality. MP’s are kidnapped or hidden from view. The predictions alter everyday favoring one yesterday and the other today. Punters are betting on the outcome. The whole world watches with amazement. Shakespeare would have said, “Much ado about nothing”. The situation outdoes even the Bard’s great tragedies, though at times it looks quite comical. The Last Act is to be played and the climax is approaching.People are having a lot of fun watching the drama. Will the drama end with a Bang or a whimper? The people will get bored, stop watching the drama and call it a day!

Moily by Vijay on 19 Jul 2008

Moily is the most corrupt creature on earth. His price was one crore rupees to establish business in Karnataka. He is known as "oily moily". Since he is pathologically corrupt, I will not be surprised if certain Italian make him next PM till free lunch loader is ready.

Congress, Communists and Kamine by ahmed on 19 Jul 2008

The UPA has enjoyed the power since last 4 years with help of communists. No one, even Congress and Speaker, said any thing when, muslim women got raped and slaugtered by communists. Even media was quiet. Now CPM are bad,not then? Why no one is focusing on real issues of inflation and misery of aam admis? The Congress, communists and their associted kamine are responsible for this mess. Is it Congress Diversion to fool the public?

Nuclear Deal by Thinker on 19 Jul 2008

Mr Karat or the left as a whole have limited thinking and even lesser vision hence they may be excused the innuendos of knowing anything beyond the bridge of their noses. Hence forget their faults and say" Forgive them as they know not what they sayeth and doeth".

Honest and upright by richard on 19 Jul 2008

Who is the only honest, upright and patriotic politician in India? It is Prakash Karat. Which is the only party which is interested in the nation's development. It is CPM. Who is the only person capable to be our Prime Minister? It is Mr.Advani. For their sake, we must let this country go to dogs and never recover enough to develop itself. It is a fun to have 70 percent of the people living in poverty, not knowing the strength and weaknesses of their own democracy.

No Sir by Pattabi on 19 Jul 2008

Mr. Karat is not explaining in a way an educated person can understand his objection, but poor illiterate Muslims may buy his arguments. Mr. Advani is failing to tackle tricks from Mrs. Sonia Gandhi, if he is wise enough then he would have supported the nuclear deal and kept the BJP voters with him.

No Sir by Rao K P on 19 Jul 2008

You are right Pattabi. I fully agree with you. Politics should be above national interest. BJP lost a golden chance. Now they have no chance. We will have a corrupt prime minister like Mayavati in the near future and untrustworthy Mulayam Singh or Deve Gowda as Dy PM. GOD ONLY CAN SAVE THIS COUNTRY.

Left suffering from 'Stockholm syndrome', says Cong by k chopra on 19 Jul 2008

Sadly, the situation has come to this pass. It speaks volumes about the entrenched immaturity of Indian democracy. Why should a national interest like Indo-US nuclear cooperation should have to bring down a well established government in India? Why can't we Indians just debate the pros and cons in a way that business of the government keeps ticking on?I reckonthe guys we send to the parliament should stand a better scrutiny before they are given this MP mandate. Next elections should ensure this.

healing touch, post done deal by tick on 19 Jul 2008

Stockholm syndrome is applied to individual, not groups of people, surely not to a political party. That would be travesty of truth.---- A victor always invokes awe and China's appeal to the populace in its proximity can not be wished away. Fear also would have played a role in it. The import of N-deal is profound; either lead to decimation of Communists or their transformation to a healthy purple. Hope it is latter. As market economy blooms to provide necessities and prosperity to the populace, the de-communised Left would have a crucial contributory role to play. That would need a healing touch and assimilative ethos. The strivings of Left need not go in waste, let their idealism and finer emotions mingle in our polity. Our polity which is as complex as N and S Americas combined, needs reliable constitutional and scientific foundation. Hurtling misapplied syndromes does not contribuete to it.

A Quake Psychologist? by Arvind on 19 Jul 2008

Stockholm Syndrome refers to the emotional attachment of the captives towards the captor, as in hostage or kidnap situation. The term is also used for someone showing loyalty to the dominant abuser. It is just a defensive mechanism of mind under duress. So, the use of term in the present case make any sense? 'Enjoying while suffering' can not be called Stockholm Syndrome.
