Indian-American Leaders Thank Bush for His Efforts

By Balbir Singh Sooch

US President George W Bush** **terms it rightly 'a big deal' as he signs N-deal** **law-** Bush also asked Sant Chatwal to convey that "Dr. Manmohan Singh, Prime Minister of India is my best friend," said by Chatwal as reported by PTI.

Thus the deal is also a matter of great significance especially for Sikhs.

The Sikh Vichar Manch already expressed its opinion and happiness in advance on the success of the deal with related expression, 'Indian-Americans laud PM, promise n-deal gift to him',

"The hope is very likely to be fertile as Indian-Americans laud Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh and promise N-deal as a gift for him. Indian officials are also hoping that the **US** Congress will approve the landmark nuclear deal by the time Manmohan Singh leaves **New York** later on Saturday.

Indians do really feel proud in having a man of Dr. Manmohan Singh stature as the Prime Minister of India who rightly and honestly deserves all praise along with his sincere team including Madam Sonia Ji and her family members for putting India on the global map with his farsighted economic policies and his unwavering belief in seeking nuclear liberation of India after the untold miserable sufferings and the isolation globally for 34 years in the field.

President George W. Bush and the Secretary of State Ms Condoleezza Rice who did and are doing everything possible to get the N-deal finally approved despite the opposition and obstacles from the very beginning for the deal, would always be remembered as history makers of friendship between India and US".
