When person like Chidambarram says that Hyde act do not bind India means he is right and govt should win the test. But, it should only win when NDA decides and they will.
The whole confusion started when Congress wanted full credit and did not let communists to see the draft. It is only a week back, party with a fear to lose showed the draft to members of other parties.

And that makes you anti-BJP and anti-Shiv Sena?...
wow... I thought you would have been worshipping them coz they displayed such mature actions which took care of the future of this entire nation... :-)
Isn't something similar being said by the Congressis today in Parliament?... :-)
All the pro Indo-US Nuclear deal politicians should answer to the following questions. 1) How Hyde Act does not apply to nuclear commerce with India alone, when it is applicable to all other nations in the world? 2) Is there any specific mention in Hyde Act adopted by the American Senate exempting India specifically? 3) Why does the Indian leadership press for a hasty and hurried signing of 123 Agreement with the US? 4) Can you not imagine an international treaty without Americans? 5) How safe and foolproof Nuclear Energy is in light of the global experience of 3 mile Island and Chernobyl? 6) Why do you want to depend on Uranium based N Power Plants only, when the domestic resources have been extremely weak and unreliable? 7) By signing an agreement with the US, are you committed to buy their technology and plant at the price and cost dictated by them? 8) Why don't you develop Thorium based Nuclear technology domestically alternatively to costly Uranium based one? 7) By promoting Uranium based process, will not our dependence to America be consolidated? 8) How disastrous a Nuclear Radiation by virtue of the used fuel disposal and in the event of an accident while learning from the history of human scientific experience is concerned? 9) Why American Government has been persistently pressurising their Indian counterparts to push the deal? 10)Why
Just as the United States allowed Pakistan to proliferate nuclear bomb technology to its islamic brothers, it may look the other way if we pass on the bomb tech to our friendly nations such as South Korea and Japan. It may encourage us to do so as tacitly as it did with Pak. USA may look the other way because that would be one other method of controlling China. After all what has it done in the case of Pakistan after its weapons proliferation? It has only rewarded it with nearly 25 billion US dollars, F16 aircrafts and the like. So, you never know.

US is the one and only superpower of the world. Economy is 27 Trillion and India has just touched 1 Trillion. Of course it is good to have a partnership. U buuffoon as well as Mooroonn and if I may add bbhhaaddwaa get back to your village and milk cows you uneducated fooolll people like you and India is still poor and backward.
No body is misleading. With the Nuclear Deal, we the people of India will get uninterrupted fuel, hence hopefully there will be no power cuts. We are facing power shortage. The supporting parties and others who are opposing to this will not understand the plight of common man. There can no improvements/developments in technology without electricity. Pl understand this and do something good for the country.

You are incorrect Mr Raman. Myth #11: India needs more nuclear power to assure its energy future.
Fact: Nuclear power has been virtually insignificant in India’s energy mix in the past, and will be no more important in the future. India has been generating electricity with nuclear reactors for more than 40 years. Yet, reactors supply only 2% to 3% of its electricity today. India has not built more reactors because they have not turned out to be as safe, or as clean, or – most important – as economical as originally thought. Even if India were to achieve a 50% increase in nuclear power generation (which is unlikely) such a step would only increase India’s overall electricity output by one percent at most, and would only increase India’s overall energy output by a fraction of one percent. That is not a significant increase in the energy available to India and would not decrease India’s demand for oil and gas.

By 2030 Nuclear energy can account for only 5% of India's total energy deals.......That also at 3-5 times the conventional cost

Words look promising. But in reality, we gain nothing except to beg for nuclear fuel. Why PM and C Rice issue different statements whether we are bound by Hyde act or not? Why PM has to rush to IAEA without getting parliament approval? Can we do further nuclear tests? Why US wants to shut down their own nuclear plants? When Plutonium power plants are better option, why US wants to sell us old technology? Many questions need to be answered. Do you know at what cost power will be supplied? (estimated roughly 70% higher than thermal power plants). You are actually misled by the UPA campaign.
Pkl. D. Goel, afternoon 12.45pm.,Tuesday, July 22,2008/ What ever the fate of UPA Confidence Vote gambit tonight, it is clear that the advocates like Sri P. Chidambaranji are most certainly are not giving all that Hyde-Act of US portents. While this a half -truth that the Hyde-Act is only a US Congress Statute and as such cannot be mandatory on inter-Global treaties; fair enough, Yet ,what is not acknowledged by the street smart Advocate Sri Chidambaram that once India chooses to do any strategic Nuclear testing , we are liable to be denied immediately any Nuclear assistance , fuel or facilities, Moreover, what ever preambular remarks of 123 Agreement provide, US could expect to ask for repatriation of all spent and other technologies peremptorily back to the donors...or parties who underwrite our nuclear technology imports denied to us since 1974, Pokhran Blast... So Dear Chidambaram ji you are an attorney who is pleading brief in the lok-Sabha by suppressing the other half-truth that does not show your UPA team's transnsparency, indeed. D. Goel

What you think that India is going to test the nuclear bomb immidiately after all this considarable investments? At present their is no need for another test after Pokharan 2. Further if in future our scientists needs another test , till that time we will be having our own technology. Or may be another source of energy? But today we need the enegry, and if we will start it today it will take another 7/8 years to complite.
