Union Carbide is responsible for cleaning up the contamination and compensating the thousands whose lives have been ruined in Bhupal. In buying Union Carbide's assets, Dow also acquired its liabilities. Dow set aside $2.3bn to settle Union Carbide's US asbestos liabilities. But it refused to accept Union Carbide's Indian liabilities with the approval of Man Mohan Singh. Dow paid $10m to settle out-of-court with an American child damaged by Dursban, a pesticide so dangerous that it has been banned for domestic use in the US. But Dow employees were found to have bribed Indian Ministry of Agriculture officials to license Dursban as safe for home use in India.Dow has offered to invest $1bn in India if freed from its Bhopal liabilities. Earlier this year, 50 Bhopali survivors, many old and sick, walked 500 miles to Delhi to ask the prime minister for safe drinking water and to make Dow clean the factory. For two months Manmohan Singh left them camped on a sweltering pavement without a reply. When Bhopali women brought their damaged children to his house and chained themselves to his railings, he had them arrested. The policewomen who led them away wept.
When India's prime minister finally gave a reply, it was all prevarication, no substance. The Bhopalis then declared that they would launch an indefinite hunger strike until their demand for justice was met.

By all means Man Mohan Singh is an agent of US Corporations, now he is going to sign this 123 Deal so that American nuclear companies can make a lot of money. The same Man Mohan Singh had approved ENRON.
USA gave ENRON and UNION CARBIDE ENRON ran away after stealing Rs.6300 Crores from the Industrial Development Bank of India; then it went bankrupt and the creditors of ENRON came to India to receive another $300 Millions. UNION CARBIDE killed more than 4000 people and affected another 20000 people. They could not get any compensation since 1984. USA sent 7th Fleet to attack India in 1971 and asked China to invade India during the Indo-Pak war in 1971. USA since Pakistan has organized the 9/11 attack gave more than $10 Billion of military aid to Pakistan, which would be used against India. Carter had created Mujjahidens of Afghanistan in 1978, who came to India 1988 to drive out Hindus from Kashmir. Clinton created Taliban in 1995. Clinton did his best to stop Russia to send any weapons, rockets, missiles, nuclear plants to India. Reagan allowed China to give missiles and nuclear weapons to Pakistan.
Thus, if you support this DEAL, which would take away India's nuclear weapons, you are a Traitor. Certainly MM Singh is acting for USA, not for India.

In a 1997 interview on the CBS news program “60 Minutes,” McCain frankly acknowledged, “I am a war criminal; I bombed innocent women and children in Vietnam.” Barrack Hussain Obama's father was a Muslim; thus, he is a Muslim.
Think, what kind of alliance India is getting into.
STOP N-deal in the present form at any cost right now. I dislike communists, but I support them if they are succeded to pull this most impotent Govt down. Sooner is the best. India was surving without N-deal, will survive without N-deal, but India will loose a lot if N-deal is signed in the present form. There is no full assurance of supply of fuel. Even there are many clauses can stop fuel supply. If fuel supply is stopped, all reactors will seat idle and billions of investment will suffer and there are many more effects. Dream of energy supply is will become "dark age".
Another most important thing is if this deal is for national interest then what is wrong to debate in the house of parliament and get approved for going to IAEA. There must be something secret which Congress is hiding, but whole nation has the right to know it. PVN Rao or Vajpayee would have dealt more intellegent and better way than MMSingh.

You cannot avoid Hyde Act and sign 123. Without Hyde Act The US Congress will never allow this 123. That is not all. IAEA treaty demands that India will be a non-nuclear state. 123 cannot go on its own; it is accompanied by IAEA Deal, NSG Deal, Nuclear Fussion Cut off Treaty, Hyde Act, and as Australia said clearly ultimately NPT ( without it India will not get any uranium). If you sign and want to come out, India will be another Iraq. Can you defend India against China and Pakistan without nuclear weapons, which Man Mohan wants to give up for some Dollars.

This Deal is about Dollar bribes. American nuclear industry is trying to sell their junk obsolete nuclear plants which the Americans will never use. Indian media, politicians, business community have taken a lot of bribes to sell thie country for a fistfull of Dollars. India media and a lot of politicians have taken Dollar bribes, so they are trying to misdirect the debate, even trying to create communal riots in Darjeeling( between Nepalese and Bengalis) and in Kashmir and certainly there will be a lot of Maoist attack now to deflect the public opinion.
The fact remains, this PM does not represent India at all. People are suffering from high inflation, unaffordable house price and rents, unaffrodable medical expenses, lack of job, farmers suicides, but this PM is not at all interested about these pressing proble. He is more interested to 'save his face' to George Bush. Thus George Bush is his real boss and Sonia Gandhi is his deputy boss but the people of India have no meaning for him. Electricity can be produced by 100 different ways, nuclear is not the only option or the cheapest option. Nuclear weapons are much more important, but this PM is very much willing to give up these. This PM is the new Mir Jafar of India.

You commies always shoot from hips and want to be taken seriuosly. This is height of expectation. I really wonder how you know all the secret details about bribing etc. which others don't know.
If you think that PM does not represent India at all then why the left parties had supported his government so far? It means the left parties had knowingly supported an undemocratic set-up and they can't escape now from sharing the brickbats. Anyway, respect for democracy is never expected from commies.
Chepest (or free) way to produce electricity is from the gas released by commies everyday hence we should refrain from generating power through nuclear energy, which is expensive.
Mind you - you have compared PM with Mir Jaffer. Now all muslims will get offended. If you don't believe me then ask your leader Pandhe who had suggested the same to Mulayam Singh a week ago.
Now shout CHINA, CHINA CHINA thousand times and your chinese masters will gift you chow-chow noodles.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has to bring a split in the BJP by offering the BJP MPs crores of rupees per head as the BJP MPs are taking bribes for asking questions in the parliament. So that his government will survive for the remaining period of 9 months.
Dump, Suresh Babu, you must be a evil in this human society. bribe can not be the challenge to another bribe. People like you should be shot on the road and hang in the light post.

Correct. The LEFTs are stupid, if they have given the same reason as BJP to oppose this DEAL, LEFT will be very popular in India. LEFTS are doing the right thing for the wrong reason, but still it is the right thing to do. Now Congress is exposed as an anti-Indian party.
In up North a Muslim CM withdraws the land granted to a Hindu temple and here down south, An Atheist CM gives communal quota for Muslims and Christians – Both Happens in SECULAR India!
Today in Tamilnadu, issue of 7% reservation to Christians and Muslims are referred to Backward class Commission to ensure that they get the benefits of this ‘gift’ to Minorities which was announced last year.
The Hindus have been minorities in J & K and north-eastern states, but secular Indians never heard of any reservation made to them on the basis or minority or their backwardness. It is a secular wonder that the Art. 16 (5) never works for Hindus in secular India!
A. If the Agreement works in detriment to India we can Terminate under Article 14
1. Either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement prior to its expiration on one year's written notice to the other Party. A Party giving notice of termination shall provide the reasons for seeking such termination. The Agreement shall terminate one year from the date of the written notice, unless the notice has been withdrawn by the providing Party in writing prior to the date of termination.
B. If the Hyde Act is seriously implemented by the US, we can pass our own laws to neutralize the Hyde Act- Article 2
1. The Parties shall cooperate in the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Each Party shall implement this Agreement in accordance with its respective applicable treaties, national laws, regulations, and license requirements concerning the use of nuclear energy for peaceful purpose

is to remembered that the deal is only nuclear civilian cooperation.
The US will provide us technological transfers and uranium supplies to reactors for civilian purpose - this they want guarantees that enriched uranium will not be diverted for militrary purpose.
What we do with our own or other friendly countries (like Russia) technology or uranium is outside the purview of the Deal. We are free to use it for military or dual use purpose

chadilesswala, if we pull out we have to give back the technology and fuel rods. They would have used our bases. It is ours to loose. You should be a non-indian to be pushing for this deal.
-Not a Knickerwallah, but would mind being one rather being a traitor.
For 4 years the no-good Reds have been threatening MMs's govt with withdrawal of support, and he has allowed this blackmail to continue ad nauseum, like a dog with its tail between its legs. The overwhelming majority of the electorate did not vote for these Red traitors, yet they have been allowed to hold the entire nation hostage. For once it would be great to see MMS show some spine and tell the treacherous Red scumbags where to get off - let em withdraw and be damned! Not not familiarity, but weakness also breeds breeds contempt, only more so in this case.
