Hi, Now a days this is a burning topic and every one wants to know whats that.Hope the upa(losted majority Govt) will open it for public so that they can judge.
without taking left parties into confidence, the upa is trying to do something like nuclear deal.. the repurcussions has to be borne by the whole country later on. So UPA has to invite left parties and disucss, discuss and discuss.. rather than cribbing that confidentiality is too high in this.!

who are left parties...1% of parliament...1.5% of representation in India. congress atleast represents 45% parliament and 40million people in India. is this not sufficient for rest 20 million people with BJP and 2 million with lefts and rest 18 million people to trust them to lead the nation to prosperity. They have done it before and they will do it now...
whatever said and done, Mr. Manmohan Singh is an Honest man, Dr. Kalam too have seconded his opinion. When such learned men are in favour of this deal there has to be something, Advani as everybody knows how he licked Jinnah ASS in his pakistan tour, if he becomes the prime minister, it will be the worst day for India, there is nothing much to say about Prakash Karat Also.

Lol. Kapil Bhairav is correct. Though I support the BJP should rule the country to avoid drama like situtation prevailing in the country, but I do not support Advani becoming PM, because he is a double edged sword and will go to any extend to save his skin irrespective of party's ideology.

Hero, read this mail carefully , At a time when the country is divided over the Indo-US nuclear deal, three prominent nuclear scientists have urged the government not to go ahead with the controversial deal.
Former chairman of Atomic Energy Commission Dr. P K Iyengar, former chairman of Atomic Energy Regulatory Board Dr A Gopalakrishnan and former director of Bhabha Atomic Research Center Dr.A.N. Prasad say that there is a great deal of disquiet among the scientific community at large about the deal.
They also said they had met the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh [Images] earlier and discussed about the after-effects of the deal, besides writing to the MPS.
The scientists say the government should not proceed to seek IAEA board approval for the current draft safeguards agreement until its implications are debated completely the country.
Disputing the government's claim about the energy security aspect if the deal is signed, the scientists say it has been quantitatively shown that the additional power will come at a much higher cost per unit of electricity compared to the conventional coal or hydro power, which India can generate without any foreign imports.
In a release, the scientists argue about the repercussions of the nuclear deal.
Here are the excerpts:
"Once the deal is in place, it is also clear that India's commercial nuclear interactions with the US as well as with any other country will be firmly controlled fro

The nuclear deal could also have other serious repercussions, including a potential weakening of India's nuclear deterrent and an inability to protect & promote indigenous R&D efforts in nuclear technology. A combination of the extreme secrecy with which the government has carried forward this deal , the media hype they were able to generate in its favour , the parochial interests of opportunistic individuals & organizations, and the unfortunate ignorance of the issues involved among the general public have put the country on a dangerous path, likely to lead to the detriment of the current & future generations of Indians. Today's urgency to rush to the IAEA Board, in consonance with the American timetable , to get the safeguards agreement approved and thereafter clinch the Deal during the tenures of the current governments in India and the US must, therefore , be replaced with an openness & introspection that is vital for a serious debate which the situation demands.
The central issue about the IAEA safeguards agreement has been the doubt as to how "India-specific" these are . In particular , since it is distinctly clear from the Hyde Act and the 123 Agreement that no uninterrupted fuel supplies have been guaranteed in these documents for reactors which India will place under safeguards , the government had as

The 123 Agreement states that the imports under the deal "shall be subject to safeguards in perpetuity in accordance with the India-specific Safeguards Agreement between India and the IAEA and an Additional Protocol, when in force". While the actual draft of the Additional Protocol (AP) applicable to India may have to be negotiated and agreed to at a later date , it is absolutely necessary that a prior agreement between the IAEA and India on the essential features of such an Additional Protocol must be reached simultaneous with the finalization of the safeguards agreement and before signing it . The most intrusive actions under safeguards are always taken on the basis of this protocol , including the "pursuit clause" which permits interference with our non-civilian programs on the basis of unsubstantiated suspicion . India needs to make it clear what the limits are beyond which we will not entertain any IAEA action or intrusion , and it should be clear that a standard Model Protocol applicable to non-nuclear weapon States will not be acceptable to India. The leverage to debate and get the kind of restricted additional protocol we want will be entirely lost once a safeguards agreement alone is first put in place and the installations put under safeguards . As we understand , the lim

Mr. Kumar, third party means other than Indian Government (who is in the office by oath of secrecy as per Indian Constitution) and IAEA. nothing degrading of anyone in Pranab's statement.

This is not the agreement with US. this is safegaurd agreement with IAEA , which actually prevents some civilian nuclear facilities not to be used for military purposes.so that some people like australia and canada can supply uranium for those reators.thats it..
even if they have the details ...they are not going to support it....
