- It has been a tradition till now not to oppose in public for any International treaties signed by the Govt of the day.
Inspite of apprehensions about Pakisthan's intentions and Kargil, all parties supported Mr Bajpayee's initiative on Lahore Bus Service. Imagine how embarassed Mr Bajpayee and his Govt. would have felt, had political parties opposed his moves after he declared his offer.
May be Congress could have raised slogans in Agra where Mush and Bajpayee were negotiating in a failed summit.
But nothing of such things happened. Because all those were between India and another Nation.
Had BJP welcomed Nuclear agreement publicly in the very first go, Communists would not have dared to oppose for fear of being isolated.
