Dr Man Mohan Singh commands respect from all even from the opposition for his coolness, knowledge and silence. However, Dr Singh should not forget that he heads a democratic Govt. where both his party and the opposition, however weak it may be, form the Govt. His utterances in First Person Singular "I" doesn't befit him and it is very unfortunate when he says Opposition 'need not give any advice' on the issue (Nuclear Deal). Does it mean that when he and his party members enjoy the light and AC etc generated by nuclear power the rest of the country sit in darkness?? Dear Pm, we hold you with respect, and please ask some body in your party or in PMO to give a list of benefits we shall derive by this deal! We too are inhabitants of this country and love her too as you do.

Kumarendra,
Manmohan didn't ask your permission or explain to you why he needed to introduce liberal reforms in 1991 when India's foreign reserves were depleted. And today, we enjoy the benefits of those policies. Desperate circumstances (India's energy deficit) require extraordinary measures (risking loss of political power to ensure energy security).
Moreover, the benefits of this deal are self-explanatory. The cost-benefit analysis is not so obvious. However, with the amount of information and opinion pieces out there on the matter, you have enough information to make your own decision.

Dear Mr Abhisek Nair Do you remember a character called Harshad Mehta? You will regret when your BARC, NFC, AMD and TIFR close down. Prof H.N. Sethna and Prof P.K. Iyengar, the former chairmen of Atomic Enegy Commission, are opposed to it. Did the PM try to know why? Have you read the article of Justice Krishna Iyer in The Hindu July 04, 2008. Do you know the difficulties of Nuclear waste disposal? You can't afford to lose your sovereignty just for a few kilowatts of nuclear power? Will you? Dear Nair, many information, the uncomfortable ones, is kept secret. Otherwise why can't they come out to convince the people than blaming one political party or the other? Power-sharing, it appears to me, is more important than knowledge-share.
