Knickerwallahs and commies have changed tactics. After the deal has been put in the public domain, there is clause they can attack the government for comprising India's sovereign interests.
So tactically they attack procedures which is a matter of subjective perceptions to deflect attention of the bottom-line of the deal - Is the Deal Good for the Nation?
Former US Ambassador, Talbot his book revealed that NDA through then foreign minister, Jaswant Singh had agreed to sign NPT, sacrificing India's right to nuclear test. This without informing the nation or parliament. Now the BJP is exposed: 1. That it practiced deceit procedurallly 2. It is hypocritical since it opposes the deal citing that India's right to explode a bomb (which actually is not the case)
Omar Abdullah, who was Minister of External Affairs during NDA in tonight's Big Fight confirmed that the NDA was negotiating a similar deal. He also confirmed what they got in the deal was substantially less than what the UPA got. Most importantly, he confirmed that the NDA was prepared to sign such a deal which is distinctly worse.
