finally the congressi govt is giving in. the debate is not about right (bjp) or left (congressis-commies). it is about a very valuable principle that in matters of vital national defence, the voice of the whole nation must be heard loud and clear. national defence is way too important to be trusted entirely to congress party which has a long history of receiving bribes from foreign interests - the iraq oil bribes to congress is only recent one.
now it has happened. but how capable are the mps to come forward with their informed opinion and conviction on the issue? how far would the parliament deliberate on this? hope this is not treated as a mere fleeting moment by yawning and belly scratching nose picking mps.

there must be full vote on this issue. however, the defeat of agreement need not mean fall of the govt - india has an explicit no-confidence vote provision to determine that.

Whatever my mistrust on Congress but for Nuclear issue I trust MM Singh more than parliamentarians who can be bribed for asking petty questions. Or those MP's who are involved in human traficcking or Say people like Babloo Srivastava / Shabudin etc. etc
Our Indian parliament is yet to get serious players who match the level of MM Singh.
Moreover Our team negotiating with US on 123 agreement was of competent people, we should trust them.
Also note that India is not a baby that US can bully us or make us bonded labour.
Also US is not a headmaster we should be afraid off or refer our problems to.
We are a mature country, quite capable of running on our two feet.
Regarding CPI, they will be indeed playing negative role if they use Nuclear deal as an issue to break further progress in this area.
If Russia was strong enough to help India in Nuclear issues than there was no need to go in for USA. But Russia has not given us any creditable technology in this area.
