I think the writer should refrain from calling the opposition names It doesent serve the purpose. I think the marority of the people who have written on this topic agree that there has to be provision of JPC on such a crucial issue and not just passed by a cigar club. I see no reason why the UPA is shying away from this if they have nothing to hide. The US congress and senate took over 18 months to draft it out then why rush India into signing it. The writer could see the whole issue more objectively rather than taking sides of his support. I do not fancy the BJP but they do have a vaid point on a JPC. Surly we dont want to miss the bus but at what cost is the question. If India as a strong nation stands upto to the pressure believe me there will always be another one coming our way. Nations need us as much as we need them.
