Dear friends, Though BJP is also opposed to the deal in the present format, they are not totally against it like CPM... The deal got signed during their regime.
They may have some reservations against some options of the deal, which the Cong could have very well taken care of by talking with them or having an all party meeting to remove any misconceptions / negotiate with US to redefine such clauses which are opposed by BJP...
But it does not look like Cong has done such an exercise so far. It did not even had any such discussions with BJP, even though they said will support the deal with some changes...
So, it will be unfair to totally blame the BJP for this situation, wherein even the good aspects of the deal are getting covered under some political calculations.
And, i think many scientists have come out against the deal as well, though Mr.Kalam suppports it.
That means there are different dimensions in which those who know the deal view it.
And, many people just cite APJ's support for the deal, but we can as well take the case of the other eminent scientists who oppose it too...
It would have been better had the Cong took BJP into confidence, so that the mockery thats being staged now for the voting etc, could have been avoided.
