A naughty little boy lifted the skirt of a doll he found and peeped inside (Boys will always be Boys). Then very loudly to the embarrassment of his adult audience in room he wondered “why is she wearing a skirt if she has nothing to hide?" That naughty boy had a point that unfortunately the suave and politically correct Pranab Mukerjee doesn’t seem to have. If the Congress doesn’t have anything to hide why does it need to keep the agreement behind a curtain? There could be many good reasons for a government to keep its global agreements under the warps but to suggest they have to 'join the government' to get a peep at it stupid! Every one of the MPs that sit in the parliament are representing a segment of this nation by denying those that don’t sit with the treasury benches the right to this information would it be denying the people of that area to be apart of the democratic process? The N-deal, by any which way you look at it, is good. Even if we don’t get instant energy security , we get recognized as a nation that the world at large must accept and work with. The bi-partisan support that this deal got in the US Congress and the fact that UK , France and Russia have all extended there support is part of the world accepting this nation . This could be a feather in the Turban of the Dr Singh. Why is he not giving it the transparency that it demands?

As per the story, the girl had something to hide, which the naughty boys (Karunanidhi, Lalloo,Amar singh, Pawar, Ram vilas paswan etc, does not know anothing. But the audience, Left & BJP definitely know that something is hidden for which the Doll (Super MANMOHAN SINGH the great-Nobel prize winner for Economics & Nuclear Science winner for 2008) has no answers.

Congress recd a big slap on its 'dash' point. A little bit time will take to stand aright. It is an outcome of 60 years' anti-people policy. Congress has broken its own leg. It ordered for artificial leg.
Why is the govt keeping the general public in dark about the nuclear deal... Only the elite few in defence and foriegn ministries along with the honchos in the Prime ministers office know everything about the deal..
And when the government ifself is saying that electricity from nuclear powered plants will contribute 5 p.c. of the total grid supply by 2015 if the deal works out (Now it is 1 p.c.), why make so much noise and surrender ourselves to the No-Test treaty.
What indian governemnt should do: 1) Make the 17 page deal document public 2) Revert back to the non-aligned stand of nehruvian era
communism was a concept started to reach out to the grassroot people but today all that communists have made themselves in to is just a bunch of anti americans who just dont care for the interests for their own country. this certainly is one of finest moments in india's politics. the whole fiasco has shown how our left parties are no different from the rest communists. the only countries whose interests might have been harmed by the n-deal were china and pakistan. now one doesnt need to be einstein to infer, on whose behalf our left parties are fighting this war against the govt.
BJP itself was interested for this deal during its regime but then congress did not supported for its own. now that congress is through the deal while in power, BJP is not supporting them. IF these two major parties keep aside their party interests and unite in national interest, at least support each other on national issues, india shall regain the historical ststus of golden sparrow. I pray almighty to give such mindset to truthful leaders of both parties

I'm not much fan of BJP but Its very unfair to ask BJP for blind support, If deal is bad they will have share the bad credit...you know the deal documents are not available for them to study and actually nobody (MMS) asking their support...
after next elections we all should give dharna outside 10 janpath and humbly request and pray to madame soniyajee to please accept the prime ministership.
