When the highly qualified PM and many of his expert ministerial colleagues and ofcourse the know-all kapil sibals of the congress not being able to honestly and transparently let the people know what is in the deal, I am sure that the hon'ble lady cannot contribute anything better. Even now, I do not find anybody stating as to why the deal should be with US alone and not with Russia or France. What is hidden in the agreement. Did the govt. commit to buy most if not all the equipment from US in lieu of its support to get us out of the nuclear apartheid. What if they take the money and stop supply or supply sub-standard equipment. This can happen with any country but an ignorant person like me knows that US has let us down in Tarapore and Pakistan in respect of the money paid by it to buy F16s. So what is correct will always be decided by US and wisdom requires that we should sign a deal from a point of weakness.
