Whatever be their past

Their past may have been murky but its a fact that there was some validity in their opposition to this deal.

C'mon when unsocial elements support such deal thats ok but for once the left takes a right stand and they get flaked ??

It is Congress and Manmohan who needs to not just do introspection but retire from Indian politics forever

TRUE. It is the congress to do introspection. Think of all that was done by them to sell off India's sovereignty and freedom to special interests. It is in the news that congress was planning the sell off from 1991. They reduced production of Uranium in India (1991)giving opportunities to other countries to make profit. Check out who was the Finance Minister? Then it was a gradual process to slow down all our research works on Thorium Technology. That include cut in budget allocations and reduction in recruitment of scientists and engineers with high calibre. No proper patronage was given to the Atomic Research. IT boom is another cause. Best brains turned to IT field where the pay packet is heavy.
There was a callous inaction by governments in increasing power generation capacity. It created an impression among the people that nuclear energy is the only hope. The huge investments and other problems were not considered in the proper perspective. Single point agenda- make India a land of nuclear waste. Along with the perpetual bondage and slavery.

maybe the chinese would give us the uranium and the nuclear equipments we are looking for, I doubt the communists would cry foul if we signed the agreement with China. How come these communists didnt cry foul when the chinese sold the nuclear design and weapons to Pakistan? Why did they not cry foul whe they sold the missle secrets to Paki's through N Korea? Who is selling whom? Give me a break.
