All these halla-ballu is in the name of nuclear energy that would flow after a decade or more investing huge capital at the moment. And after 30-40 years it require astronomically huge capital to decommission the nuclear plants constructed now. Google 'Group up for �17bn Sellafield job '. Do we need to put our children in great distress for the energy we use. 17 Billion sterling pound is Rs13,50,000 crores. The radiation hazard is another issue. It is time to think of the projects in depth.
Further the visionaries of the N-deal claiming to be Congress men went and signed an agreement which will make India to follow a LAW enacted by another country. Congress, founded in 1885 by AO HUME and others grows into a movement for freedom of India delivered freedom to India with sacrifices from martyrs from all over India. It up-held the democratic values from the very beginning. What happened now? Now they do not care about the values that sustained Congress/India all these years. A man was asked to sign the 'agreement' keeping it secret even the from AICC members. Leave alone the Parliament. What a pity!! Feel that the Congress will have to pay a heavy price for this undemocratic, dictatorial, unprincipled handling of the N-deal. Think twice before jumping into the fire.

Gopalji, The British made the congress party inorder to subdue nationalism. Please don't think Nehru who was tutored by Mount Batten and slept with his wife was interested in nationalism. He kept every loyal servent of the crown who did untold arosities, murder looting, and surpression of its own people, to india making us from the richest coutry, most educated, most honest, most prosprous, to a country of beggers, liars, cheats and scondrol. He failed to fire not one person whoi supressed India and made us a third rate country, but did not allow Indian National Army to join the Indian military after independence.
Th Coolie raj is only interest in loot as they fill foriegn bank accounts just as the British.

not each agreement can be discussed indepth by the entire country. if you are enjoying a good life and job now, it's because of the same mms decisions in 1991 as a finance minister. when you trusted him then, why not now? you can find fault with mms if he cannot prove trust vote. untill then ... silence is better.

The fruits which we are enjoying is because of PVN and Atalji not MMS,yes high inflation we are seeing now is the result of MMS wrong policies like NREG and farmer loan waiver.You can give blind support to mms probalaly may you belong to the minority group who has most benefitted from the communal budgeting of MMS and co,we are not blind not to see it.

PVN got the credit whereas it was started by Rajiv, Petroda & V P Singh (when he was in Congress).

why are u making this communal? yes PVN was the prime minister who selected mms as the finance minister. even today, mms respects pvn for that. imagine if your parents objected to mms and pvn decisions in 1991 by joining the commies, where will you be today? now, you must think about your children not in terms of bank balance you pass on to them but in terms of the infrastructure of the country so that they can lead a better life.

West you are silly to beleive MMS respects the dead PVN,no he does not.Anyway if you can credit MMs of upswing in economy from 1990,then you are bllind not to see the down hill movement of the economy from 2004(that is UPA)during MMS time.Why give blind support for good doings and be forgetful of the bad once.Would you all supported BJP for such HIgh inflation,communal budgeting only for one nuclear act,I dont think so.

i'm not associated with any political party in india and i'm delinking the nuclear deal from the communal angle also. as for the present inflation - only a fool thinks that a country can only go upward with no downward movement. did u ever see a stock chart of any company? its' the same with any country's development too.

mr west if ten persons shouted a pen was an eraser i would still not take it.i maintain i still still watch a wait and watch approach to the deal. but since you are following me answer my questin 3 precisely?.dont go with emotions. still manmohan and chidambaram are at the help of affairs and what is happening to the economy and prices.it requires deep understanding? not raising required hikes, increasing subsidies, free tvs etc etc .i pity the next government. we are heading towards a precarious situation.only because of their election oriented policies.see how cleaverly or foolishly we are discussing over our tea when their may be a danger we may not have this cup of tea in a day or too....

i agree all these election oriented promises, free tvs etc are because of our long association with communists who want everything free without working. one thing i can tell for sure is this nuclear deal is not being done keeping the elections in view. this is truly in national interest and nothing related to elections.

congress still paints a picture of itself as a party that got us independence , this is proclaimed by many of its members time and again. 1.none of the existing members would have seen the preindependence era 2.stop eye washing your corruptions,misdeeds,follies with such statements. 3 it sounds as if the fathers-forefathers of members of all other parties were siding with the british congress transgressions in bihar,goa,karnataka.. speak for themselves.It feels as if british passed over the baton to congress when the left.they feel its their proprietory right to rule india -by hook or crook. it is sad people still most people go with emotions rather than sence when making choices in life

You have no idea about Sellafield. 17bn pound sterling is for many purposes, chief amongst them is RUNNING the plant. Decommissioning 4 cooling tower is a small side job. You always decommission old units and erect new ones if old ones are as old as 1960's vintage.
Just do not start blabering if you know nothing. Half baked knowledge is dangrous to all.
Leave such matters to Nuclear Experts like AEC Scientists.
India is persuing FBR project, where as it is almost dead in Japan & France. USA never took interest in it.
Even than India is persuing it, Our Nuclear scientist Know it why they are spending crores of Rs in it and want to scale up to 500 MW FBR units. Here we trust them and never questioned them.
But why are you questioning Anil Kakodkar and his team, which says we need the accord.
Do you think you are better expert than AEC Chairman.
