Congress shouls be firm even if the govt. falls. People will support them in mid term polls. Bjp must give a surprise to left by supporting congress to teach a lesson to left parties which are sold out to China who is enemy no. one of India. We are in the need of energy at any cost. Our PM is not a political man. He should rise above the unwise politics and sacrifice his Govt. if it is required for the welfare of common people. He should prove that he is Dr. Man Mohan Singh who is respected in whole of the world.

Dear Mr.Manmohan Saluja,
You must understand that the PM had mentioned in Parliament that our interests are fully safeguarded before signing the agreement. Now it has come to light that we will lose our right to test nuclear weapons as long as this agreement is in force. If we test weapons/bombs, then US will terminate this agreement, and therefore we will not be able to get the fuel under this agreement. Now you shd decide whether to accept and implement this agreement, which curtails our right to test nuclear weapon. If the security situation in the sub-continent demands that we should update our nuclear arsenal, at a late date, then this agreement will be a burden on us. This is what the oppossition parties are crying from the rooftop.
Now you can decide what do you want, and which party is national and which party is anti-national.

No sir. India still has the right to test. If India tests in response to Chinese or Pakistani test then US has no problem. Even if India test on her own then also US has to supply for 1 year and then it can decide whether to stop or not the agreement. But it will continue to support the agreement because by then India will be the biggest ally of US in Asia and US will have no option but to support India

Very good reply. This implies to all who wants to accept N-Deal. First, our interest shall be security of nation. We should not sacrifice national security for so called growth. There are many alternatives we can choose from for fuels.

Growth is the only way for national security. True national security will come only with economical Growth. For growth we need energy. While we bring oil pipeline through Pakistan what is this nonsense opposition to N.Deal. infact we are increasing our security through this Deal. We can test N-Wepons even after this deal as it agrees a test of N-Wepon is necessary to counter the tests of China or Pakistan. Even after the deal even if India wishes to test a N weapon on Her own She can as No one can stop Her as the ones(China,Russia,US) that tries to stop Her as got thousands of nuclear weapons.

Dear Mr. Srinivasan,
Lets say that we do not go ahead with deal. What happens? India remains as a pariah in terms of Nuclear energy.
1. If you have read correctly (and gone beyond Burning headlines), in case of emergency, if India tests, deal does not get terminated immediately. Now, there is a scope of discussion before that happens. Also, if India has to return the fuel, India gets all the money for the fuel returned. But in the mean time, India would have advanced so much, that it can only help India's cause. 2. If we do not get this deal now, we will never get it (atleast in near future). From where do you think that India will get all the energy that is required? May be leftists will ask China to supply some? 3. Have you read reports about China and Pak are preparing to sign the deal. I am very sure that they will go for it, irrespective of Indo-US deal.
