Since my earlier message was truncated, I am continuing this.
Are we going to accept that we should ever depend on US for the supply of nuclear fuel after investing lakhs of crores in importing light water reactors? Are we going to surrender our right to have nuclear weapons or nuclear test for the sake of defence? I don%u2019t get any credible reply either from government or the negotiator of the deal so far. It is a sigh of relief that at least govt has come forward to go into the details of some of the inconvenient questions. Fortunately BJP took a stand that it is also opposing the deal for the sake of causing inconvenience to Manmohan government and they got committed deeply into their stand and because of this the country is saved. On the other hand those who oppose the deal are witch hunted by the media. Those who do not belong to left are castigated as 'enemies' of the country or development or whatever it may be. It is always easy castigate the left because they have some ideology, policy, principles and it is easy to brand them as agents of China, Cuba, Vietnam or Chavez etc without taking the responsibility of proving any of the allegations openly made in the media. The irony is that those who oppose the deal never castigate the intention of policy makers particularly the government and its bureaucratic team as agents of US, though they completely sided with US interest and got ground to say that.
