RE:RE: Trust vote: BJP leaders take stock of situation

apparnetly, you do not know what N-Deal is. You seem to be the on of the 75% Indians who "support" the N-Deal, but are also amongst the 65% Indians "who do not know" about N-Deal.

The Pokhran Nuclear tests were the exact opposit of the N-Deal. The "N-Deal" as everyone calls it is an extension to the Nuclear non-proliferation treaty. What IAEA is saying is that all countries should sign up for this treaty and pledge a non-use of the Nuke devices for the defense purpose. This, if done by India, Pakistan will also follow. China and other N-power countries have already committed. If N-Deal go through, it will mean that India will be able to use its atomic reserve (meant for defense) in the domestic energy use (that means better electricity, better irigation etc., and also good for the environment). However, there's always a catch - and the catch says that since all atomic research/production centers will become non-defense areas, IAEA will have 100% visibility into it. That way India will have no "secret weapon" if ever needed. I hope, and wish that no one ever needs that secret weapon. But, at the same time, what if Pakistan or Iran do not sign? Once IAEA knows all about India's nuclear reserves, it might as well end up on the Internet! Pokhran was against the non-proliferation treaty (and that's why India had to face senctions). N-Deal is for the non-proliferation treaty. Understood?
