We expect our elected representatives to be able to decide as to what is good for the country and what is not. They should do such things which will not jeopadise our future. There are instances that just to satisfy selfish esteem, our country's interests are put on an altar.
A thorough discussion on the Nuclear matter is certainly of importance. But as to whether it is a tilt towards US or not is not of that significance. If there is some thing in the final draft which goes against the interest of the country, let us speak of it and weigh the same in the larger context. But just rejecting the draft something without justifying objectively is not done.
We may summararily reject the 123 document, which is designed to guide us through the process of setting up of about a dozen of Power Plants. What alternative we have that can guide us to avoid a possible situation in which we would have a power cut of 18 hours a day. Certainly we neither can build even a single major Dam now, nor we can rely heavily on our depleting Coal Reserve.
If we have to go with nuclear power, then can we deal with any other country other than US? If not, can we extract more from them without taking them to the verge of dis-interest? If not, do we have many better alternatives?
Let us deeply study these first, before TAKING our POSITION.

I think the whole sceintific community, energy experts, foreign policy experts and potical masters (both congress alliance and BJP alliance) were all went through these kind of analysis and came to best conclusion with 123 agreement. Let us not belittle thier effort. Just because the useless commies could not digest US dosen't mean that they can oppose this. Why were they not raising this issue in the last year and half. This deal is not something agreed upon overnight. If commies want's pull the plug on support so be it. They know when a poll is held they cannot even retain the WB voters because of nandigram and other atrocities.
