Retired scientists who have not proved their worth when the responsibilities were assigned to him have suddenly got an opportunity to atleast be remembered for their comments and get some news & TV coverage.
we should not forget that the present lot of scientists and those who have contributed immensely in past in the field of technological advancement were consulted and draft was shown to them, their concerns were noted, addressed and then again discussed with them.
Let us ignore the friends of China , Pakistan and BJP and have faith in the team that negotiated the deal.
If you remember that our team had litrally walked out of discussion when US were asserting pressure and were pressurising to accept things that would have been determental to our freedom to conduct research & trials.
So was the guts of our negotiating team and for the first time US knelt down.
Ignore BJP. They are shameless fellows. George Fernanades Had to remove his cloth as defense minister when he went to US, Advani was aware but kept quite.
His Dhoti was removed, but he kept quite.
What was his statement "US laws are such , we and everyone has to comply". Not everyone does it. In this situation in which our ministers were subjected, China would have torn apart US.
