GRJ rightly asks the boarders to first know what the deal is about. Unfortunately we tend to comment based on whom we like and whom we do not. All Left parties should have gone the way of Russia. But our masses think that by taking away from rich and middle class, the poor would become better. Another aspet is the agitational approach. All of these are stage managed. None of the participants even know what they are agitating against. Rediff has reproduced point by point answer of the government to the objections of Left. Dr Kalam, Shri Mishra our security adviser under NDA, K Subhramaniam, Naraynan the current seurity adviser, Shri Kakodkar the head of our Atomic Agency etc have all studied the deal from various point of view and support it. No deal can be onesided. We have to give some to gain some. Our politicians only think of how to come bak to power. National interest is seondary. It is the duty of intellectuals to take independent view of such important events and comment on the basis of knowledge and not on whether they like X or Y
