This is nothing short of national shame. We all know how corrupt the government is but treachery will not be tolerated. We can bear a corrupt head of state but not someone who thinks, "I know what is good for India, you go to hell". Why is BJP not taking to streets, why are they not holding press conferences to tell people. Crores have been gobbled by corrupt politicians, I can stand that but this act of treason.

History is witness to the treachery or naivette of the Congress Party: We all know the passive role played by Krishna Menon and Nehru resulting in the invasion of the North East by China, yet the Congress claims all rights and monopoly to the title of Patriots; we all know how naive Lal Bahadur Shastri was when he was advised to visit Tashkent which resulted in his untimely and mysterious death; we all know how the Bofors deal was gone through and the involvement of the socalled First Family of India, which till date continues to call the shots in this land; what hope does this country have now that we have a Prime Minister who was an ex-Governor of the Reserve Bank of India and who is so keen to turn a blind eye to the corruption that the founder of a bank has feathered in her organisation and is poised as the next First Citizen of this country? Dr Gopalakrishnan and Anil Kakodkar can shout all they want warning us to go with eyes fully open to the nuclear deal, but where money and power are the carrots before our Honourable Men (and Two Women) do they stand a chance of being heard by anyone, let alone Parliament? Anyway, what is the composition of our Opposition? An aged, stinking, rotting, crumbling BJP which is desperately in the act of digging its grave with the machinations of senile, nonagenarians like Vajpayee and Advani who have suddenly realised the value of Jinnah as a patriot;most of the MPs do not understand international relations or the meaning of Nationa

...National Security, not having passed even elementary school; as for the rest they have come up the "hard" way - through the use of muscle and mafia power and they couldn't care less what happens to the country and can hope to be "educated" with money and power by the interested quarters. AG and AK can shout from the rooftops warning the country to go in with eyes fully open into the deal nobody will listen. It will be a surprise if India does not end up as a banana republic of the US and as for the common man, let him get ready to become a citizen of the United States of Amerindia in the near future. As for what the history books will say about the nefarious role of the present powers that be, well, we are no novices in re-writing history books, are we?

Anil Kakodkar was in Washington when this deal was finalised, and he has not made any comments yet. What if he give his consent to this deal, would the people of Bhagwa brigade or red brigade like you would accept this? or Would you call him a traitor as well.

What is the "national shame" in this deal? Have you read the content of the agreement? National pride does not come by the Nuclear Bombs, but comes when common people have access to good education, decent health care, safe drinking water, electricity and opportunity to prosper. When 30% people live with one meal a day, that is the national shame.
Isn't the BJP the same party who tried to sabotage our hard earned economic growth by conducting some unwarranted and meaningless nuclear tests. Isn't this the same BJP which led us to Kargil war because they were so stupid to trust Pakistanis. Isn't this the same BJP whose leaders endangered national security when caught red handed accepting bribes in defence contracts. In the bathroom everybody is naked.
Do not mix this deal with party politics, the issues and stakes are much bigger and important than any party or person.
