Indo US Nuclear Deal should go through. It is in India's long-term interest. But which political party is interested in India's interest. Everyone wants to protect his vote-bank. Bush has got the deal approved despite tough opposition in US. It is shame that Indian politicians are on the verge of losing out a best opportunity to become an international player. What is surprising is BJP's opposition to the Deal. I now realise that BJP is as visionless and opportunistic as others. It is a pity that a party which talked of principles has now descended to this level.

Mr. Sundar Rangan,
We should not comment about the deal before knowing what it is. Even the Hon'ble members of Parliament are unaware of its terms and conditions. The PM has not taken anyone into confidence before signing the deal, nor he has placed the agareement on the table for discussion in parliament. Every citizen of India has a right to know the implications of this deal. If there are strategic/sensitive issues involved, the government has every right to conceal certain facts from the public, but atleast the leader of the opposition should be taken into confidence in such an event.
