In hindsight even a Mule is a genius ! The Congress party has been repeatedly saying that the Hyde Act has nothing to do with the N-Deal. But Burns had made it clear that the 123 must be "consistent with the provisions of the Hyde Act" What the Congress must admit is that the whole N-deal is built a around a web of lies and that makes it suspect . It is stupid to suggest that Vajpayee announced a voluntary ban on testing hence there is no problem for 123 stopping us from testing ? The crucial word is "voluntry". One can understand Lalu Prasad Yavad saying something like this , after all the 123 is not written in Bhojpuri script , but for Pranab Mukerjee and Kapil Sibal to suggest that Hyde Act has no bearing is deception at its best if not outright lying in the parliament!
