In all this song and dance sequence of Left withdrawing its support for UPA, what the media and the pundits are ignoring are the terms and conditions of the Indo-US nuclear agreement fathered by ManMohan.
If this is something that great :
1.Why is it not in the public domain? 2.Why was it not discusses in the Lok Sabha? 3.Why was it not tabled in the Rajysabha? 4.Why does not India's defense minister, AK Antony and foreign minister Pranab Mukherjee speak and elaborate on the benefits of the agreement? Do they know anything?
Congress as usual is treating India as Gandhi & Company,Pvt Ltd.
Its a shame that we have politicians like Mulayam who will even compromise India's sovereignity for two cabinet positions and 4 ministers of state.
Its high time they made a copy of this agreement public.If its good the people of India will accept it.Why should Manmohan and Sonia fear?

Birju, may i ask why it should be a sell out. The Military NPlants will not be affected. Already we have enough nuke weapons, so why the fear? What will we do for the future power needs of country.. Also note that the commies who were against the deal openly supported the Chinese during the 1962 war.. Now they are opposing it. If we are getting a better N-deal similar to china, what`s the harm in accepting it? I believe when the commies say its bad, then definitely its good for the country.
Without solutions for power for the growing economy, everything is just empty rumbling. Definitely the country cant go dark ages. The alternative solutions of Dams, solar power, wind power are just not feasible. Otherwise most countries would have done it.

>already we have enough nukes
says who? afaik we do not have a credible thermo nuclear warhead - the last test at pokhran was inconclusive. that's the concern - that we might not be able to test further to optimize our weaponization program.
