The nation knows that the alliance was not working. I am surprised at the conclusion of Mr. Raghavan to the contrary. What seems to be the right conclusion is that Manmohan Singh played well by using the N-deal to expose the damage nation is undergoing (and I mean poor Indians...) by electing these relics of "ancien regime". I hope that Jyoti Basu's fears come true and they lose in W. Bengal and in Kerala in next elections. Buddha Deb is in the wrong company. Moderate socialists have to recognize their real enemy. It is this bunch of comrades. This should help realignment of politics and dum-dums of UNPA should either quit or isolate these rascals.

Who is this miscreant - Bull Shit Raghavan. The agreement is seriously flawed. Text of Brahma Chellaney's article:
It must be doubly embarrassing for New Delhi to see the Vienna-based International Atomic Energy Agency let the cat out of the bag before Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had returned home from the G-8 summit. By revealing that “at the request of the Government of India” it had circulated the safeguards accord’s text to its board members and begun the process for an extraordinary board meeting, the IAEA belied New Delhi’s assurance to the nation not to approach the Agency before Dr. Singh had won a vote of confidence in Parliament.
Also, in helping to make the text public, the IAEA only mocked New Delhi’s claim that it cannot share the text even in confidence with “third parties”, like the Left, which had been propping up the governing coalition. In fact, after the text had appeared on various international websites since Wednesday night, New Delhi claimed credit on Thursday afternoon for “unveiling” it!
Now we know why the accord was shrouded in such secrecy. A careful reading of its text raises several red flags:
■ Far from it being an India-specific agreement, the accord resembles IAEA agreements with non-nuclear-weapons states. With the exclusion of the first two pages that contain the preamble, the accord starting from Section I, “General Directions,” on Page 3 to the very end, is largely modelled on IAEA safeguards agreements with non-

All clauses have faults. The deal made to become FAULTS. It is anti-national. Full of lies around it. LEFT PARTIES ARE PATRIOTS. BJP AND CONGRESS ARE ANTI-NATIONALS.

RAGHAVAN DOES NOT SAY THE CORRECT THING. I SAY, "MANMOHAN MADE THIS DEAL TO TIE INDIA WITH THE LEG OF GEROGE BUSH."
