Does the Indian parliament have to ratify the treaty? It is better for Dr. Singh to keep Lok Shabha out of this loop, as the lunatic lefties will subvert the treaty. Dr. Singh should try to get Advani on board as both of them genuinely care about India's future.

No, Indian parliament don't have to ratify this treaty, cabinet approval is enough. It is better to get all party consensus in this deal, but our politicians are not intellectually capbable enough to understand the gravity of this deal, and also not mature enough to look beyond petty party politics. Also, it it better to avoid the decisions of "politicians" (??) like Govindas, Lalu Yadavs or the red-brigade.
