This is incredible, the cabinet committee barely met for an hour (maybe even less) and signed off on the treaty without asking any questions. This treaty must be ratified in the parliament with a 2/3rds vote or else it must be rejected. We need to make sure that the constitution is amended henceforth. Its an unbelievable flaw in the constitution that head of the cabinet signs on to a treaty and his cabinet has to approve it. Remove this power from the cabinet and make treaty approvals go through the same process as electing a president.

What is there to discuss? This whole thing has been discussed thousand times. All of India's concerns have been addressed. All of her demands have been met. It is India 1, USA 0.
This is a great victory for Dr. Singh. It is time for communists to shut up. Patriotic parties like BJP is hundered percent behind the treaty as are 1.2 billion Indians.

Where is the text? What has been discussed? After you sign an agreement you must discuss it and get it ratified by 2/3rds of the parliament. Here we are ratifying before we get the approval of the opposition. BJP is not for this treaty nor are the scientists at the Atomic Energy Commission. If the communists torpedo this agreement then great. As much as i dislike the commies, i dislike this agreement even more. Maybe this is the make-up that the commies do for not backing the indian independence movement. As far Mr Singh is concerned the less said the better, after all he cant sleep at nights because Mom's of terrorists who blow up innocent people are in anguish when their children are caught or die in their dastardly deeds.

I do not think it needs any parliamentary approval, only the cabinet has to approve it. There is no way commies can torpedo it

I have a golden rule: listen to what the commies say and do exa`ctly the opposite and India will prosper. **** commies.
