There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies so far as any nation in concerned. They have only "permanent interests" This is the basic principle of diplomacy.
It is for the countries entering into agreements to ensure that they are not jeoparadising their country's interests and are not signing blindly the dotted line.
We have already learnt a lesson from the Agreement entered into between Maharashtra State Electricity Board and Enron. Luckily Enron went into liquidation and could not benefit from the gold-plated agreement much. Otherwise the State of Maharashtra might have gone bankrupt.
The 123 Agreement should be discussed throughly in the Parliament and be made available to the citizens of our Country to offer their suggestion. Let us have an informed debate on the issue and understand the implications of the same. What all are being hidden in the name of "Hyde Act"?
