RE:Clarification -

//Asked whether India could withdraw from the agreement if supplies were disrupted to a particular facility, Narayanan said if such a situation arises, India would have the right to take corrective steps. Kakodkar said the "corrective" measures will include legal steps. The corrective steps will depend on the threat of disruption to a nuclear facility. //

So according to this, India cannot withdraw from the agreement. That is very clear. What it can do is only "corrective" measures. What is that corrective measure mean?? nobody knows, not even the UPA govt. Because it knows that it cannot do anything. Also legal steps? what are the legal steps you can take??The 123 agreement is not even covered under International arbitration or International law (unlike the China 123 agreement). And hence India can also do a discussion, protracted discussion and arm twisting. Otherwise, it can only sit and watch if there is a fuel disruption!
