Manmohan Singh or be it any other Prime Minister is the Prime Minister of the entire nation. He is not the Prime Minister of only a few people or of the Political Party. When the PM is outside and and specially during the G8 when India is looking for a permenant membership in the UN security council. Such moves by the opposition and spineless political parties will only reduse India's image and position in the international world.
This nuclear deal was first introduced during the Vajapayee govt (BJP rule) and now they are opposing it. But if they form a govt in 2009, I am sure they will for sure sign this agreement. The opposition should play a fair game. The Prime Minister singh represents India as a whole and every Indian. An Unstable PM depicts an unstable India.

Its you:
Couple of points.
1. Any PM should be respected. Good point. But then the PM should also respect his allies, shouldn't he? 2. You say such a move is spineless. What do you call empty promises from UPA to the left saying we won't go to IAEA, and now reneging on that promise? 3. Nuclear deal was introduced during the NDA government, true. So did the UPA leave it for them to sign it in 2009? No. They went ahead half baked (without even taking their own allies in confidence) to sign it in a hurry lest this honour fall on BJP... :-) That's why they left loopholes yet unplugged, which is what BJP is complaining about. Remember - BJP is not opposing the deal suo moto.. they are opposing the deal "in its present format".
If you want stable PM, you should vote for stability. Either vote in the Congress completely... or the BJP completely... if you do neither, you yourself have asked for the instability basically. . why complain now?

Paid servants of Congress use mudsling and abuse to other parties. You will be thrown smelly eggs in near future by people of India.

It was the responsibility of MMS / Sonia to take care of this eventuality. If it was so important, MMS could hv waited till his return from Japan in announcing the govt's wish to go ahead with the deal. Left is against the deal and had long back warned that it will withdraw support in case govt decides to go ahead. So left cannot b blamed for this eventuality.
