The NDA lead opposition has had nothing to debate except thier debacle;now they want to join labour class Communist who never ever understood Socialist and Capitalist Policies except opposing to garner money for thier kitty.
PM Dr. Singh is right in saying he has not compromise any interest of the Nation;he always maintained that India can always scrpe the deal. In our History, we have never succumed to USA threat, rather we have challenged them.
In this case, India is largely to benifit with this pact;hence India must signe this without any hasitation.
Our half knowledged Media is also playing to tricky opposition bogus campaign.

If it is good for India, how is that Bush is saying that if India do Nuclear test, the treaty will be void. That means, the treaty has a clause that India cannot do any further nueclear tests which is detrimental to its growth and an infringement to its sovernty.
Better you understand what this treaty is all about and then comment.

It is all mind-set of India's fractured opposition; BJP wants to do one-up manship by sitting on the lap of rogue Communists and hinder the development.
When BJP lead NDA fooled the Nation on 2nd Pokhran blast;it is SanghParivar drumed "fake success" and the Nation suffered of US Sanction.
To-day US cannot fool Indians lead by able leadership of World Famous Economist and administrator Dr. Manmohan Singh and Ms. Sonia Gandhi's 100 year old Indian National Congress, which gave us hard fought Independence from wicked Britisher(BJP & SanghParivar'sGODFather's).
In a pact agreement general cluses are need to be incorporated;but they are never binding. PM has more then once has told the Nation, we are not surrendering but singing an Pact.
Half knowledged of Media, politician of opposition, fanctic followers are hinderance to the progress of Nation and our history speaks of back stabbers, communists are not new commer to this business.
If given a chance Dr. Singh & Ms. Sonia can run and manage even USA as well offer better diplomacy.

Dear Sudhakar, Point is not about NDA and so called uneducated left parties.Opposition has been a major strength for our democarcy and this fact you must respect.Imagine congress sitting on the other side and BJP finalising the same deal.Your educated bunch would have reacted the same way!! Question is taking everyone into the confidence.We all know how democratic is congress party itself!!Since the time of Neharu to Gandhi and now Sonia,congress has been a one brain party.People beleived however in Indira and Neharu but we cannot trust Sonia. Moreover,as rightly said by India Fan,our PM has been caught red handed when USA corrected his statement to the parliament that india looses its right to the future strategic use of nuclear capabilities.T we seem to forget the very fact that USA would be the last country to accept that india develops strategically too.They just want indian market and dont mind india becoming economically developed country but certainly dont want india becoming another China.

A good analysis by Vinay. US wants to have a pie of every action if there is money involved. Nuclear Deal would generate $100Billion worth business in the nest few years and US (even if they have obsolete technology) wants to have a major chunk of it. At the same time they want to control Indias foreign policy (if at all we have one) and our defense strategies... Us is not a state which will aloow any other nation to develop and stand upto them in future. While But they could not control China, Us is trying its best to contain India by luring them and offering candies..

Mr. Sudakar, if PM has not compromised any interest of Nation, why cant he place the agreement on Table? I am sure US will take India for a ride on this issue. It is better to come out of this agreement in the initial stage itself. We have abundant source of alternate generation of energy. Nuclear is alwas a threat.

Mr. Sahadevan,
They why is this beggars (communists) still continue their support to this anti-people government?
Your Kerala has 18 or 19 LDF representatives in LS, and the government you support is doing anti-kerala activities also (Salem for example). Yet you want to continue your support to this government. Ask your comrades to preachy what they practice.

The United States of America thanks the Republic of India for sending their best Scientist over to work for America eg. Mr. S.Chandrasekhar, Mr. H.G.Khorana.
The United States is pleased to note that the best Scientists from all over the world and especially from the Republic of India prefer to work for America, which is the reason the Republic of India has to ask for scientific & technolgy transfer from the USA and not vice-versa.

USA pays scientists well, unlike India, where they are paid laughable salaries. US technology is proved to be expensive, France has the best technology in the world for Nuclear power generation.
i would call it an un clear pact cause so many people of high level in usa are also confused . so why not pm just publicaly reveal all sorts of questioneries. better for the worlds largest democracy. be a responsible pm and come out open rather than enjoying the us affection
Our parliament house is just like an Indoor Stadium without viewers and selectors who selected teams to perform good but performance of both sides has been found poor. K K KATARYA
we have signed the deal. its fate rather our fate is already sealed. the deal cannot be undone. HAS ANY POLITICAL PART EVER DONE anything benificial to the NATION. same is the case in this deal. dont expect polititians to SERVE us. its our fate. US will from now on will DICTATE us to SIT & STAND like it is doing in GULF

Dear MM, Our right to test nuclear bomb are taken away by this deal, irrespective of US stand on Gulf.
Is PM misleading the country? How can we have two interpretations of the same agreement? India can not say they will not test in the future. It is a well known fact that our thermo reactor had given far less output than the estimated one during the Pokaran II testing. For a tactical bomb we need to master this bomb and how do you prove that - Only through actual blast. Simulation might give an idea but will never be a proof. No engineer will be happy till they get actual results. Is the PM and other members of his team aware of this significant point? If they are, then should think again and discuss with all the stake holders (political parties, scientists, security analysts, defence experts etc.). We might still take a decision to go ahead with the deal as that might be far more useful than scrapping it. But there should be a dialogue of all stake holders. Why is PM running away from a debate. I suggest that there should a closed debate and it need not be discussed in public as it is happening now. For a country that wants to be in high league, we need to evolve mechanisms to get to a national consensus .

I fully agree with you Mr. Swamy. Why not this PM place the agreement on table and then discuss?

Two opposite interpretations, either the PM is fooling USA, (in that case the deal will be cancelled by USA), or the PM is fooling the country, again people should ensure that the deal is scrapped.

Dear Mr. Karat, Bhardan and fellow comrades. Are you still supporting the UPA with good free breakfast and lunch. In case you have not read today's TOI, please go thru it and of course after UPA"s phukad food. USA is sincere in disclosing that 123 agreement will be off , if India makes one more Nuke test. This was denied by our respected PM , on the 13 th in the Parliamnt. He is like Yudhishtira in Mahabarat war, announcing " ASHWATAMA HATA kunjara " . Do not take shelter and in exuses that Your grup would have to support UPA to prevent BJP coming to powert. It is for the people of India to decide. At least for this time please open your eyes and as a true Indian believing Independence , do not succumb to the pressure of Soniaji and others to back up . Trust you are not compromising your rights for any deal outside the scope of parilamnetary democracy. Jorman

I would respect the left parties far more than what I am presently doing if they withdraw support to UPA to avoid country getting trapped into a big security issues in the decades to come. I would expect Congress party members to do it but given their record of following their leader blindly, it is not going to happen. So far, I have not heard one dissent voice from any Congress MP on this deal. Our next generation will not only curse PM and Congress party but also the left party. In my view they will curse the left far more as they are opposed to this deal but still supported the government that is going ahead with this deal.

If the country men can do a signature campaign to release Sanjay Dutt from the jail, why not all of us do another mass signature campaign to to know the 123 agreemnt and its real terms Or else make the UPA Govt. to resign and call for an election if they want to defend their suspected actions in front of the people.
