Why can India have open debates on TV, on university campus, on senate where Sonia, Karat, Advani, Mayawati, etc come and have healthy debate and put forward their points in support and against this treaty ? Why cant we read the treaty ? Why can the Indian nuclear scientists debate ? Why cant Amrtya Sen on one side and Dr.Bhgwati on another side debate? Debating, questioning is healthy sign, it will enrich democracy. All we do is quarrelling mostly. When we dont have anything constructive to speak we disrupts others. We should appreciate left for raising issues, they may be wrong but they have the right to question. We shouldnt negatively criticise them but listen and the best b
