The BJP and the left have been totally outmoneuvred by the Congress Govt.There is nothing in the deal which is anti India. It is all to our benefit without having to give up the nuclear option on which we retain full control. The Communist will naturally dislike anything to do with the US. They are paranoid about it. The BJP is opposing for the sake of doing so. Both are acting immaturish and against the national interest.

Vinaya Das, The principle of the Deal sounds good for us. But beware of the legal issues that may trouble India in the future. There is no CLARITY in the details of how the Deal would work under different conditions. The most important issue of whether India can test to keep its weapons in working order and to ensure small improvements in them. The Indo-US nuclear deal is currently weighed against India in terms of the conditions imposed on the country. It is too close to the NPT for comfort.
