How many of us really know what the N-Deal actually stands for? How many of us actually understand how it can help the nation? Has there been any article anywhere where the PM has clarified his stand before the people of the country on the N-Deal? What are the pros and cons of the N-Deal and why the pros weigh heavier than the cons because of which we should go ahead with the deal? We just have random people from everywhere expressing their personal views on what the N-Deal means for India. But haven't anywhere come across any article where the PM or the Congress chief stating in very clear terms how the nation is going to benefit from the N-Deal. The PM should give a widely publicized statement on this for everyone to understand where he is coming from on the basis of which they can decide whether he is right or wrong, instead of letting them react on hearsay comments from self-styled experts.

Sreekanth, Fully agree with you! But that reflects the quality of the democrasy that this country practices. Once we vote our leaders in to power they assume and we at least vaguely agree that they have the license to do what ever the wish to do ! People for the politician means voters . Voters that believe are relevant only on voting day. The colonial forces that ruled India, believed that we were the 'Whiteman’s burden'. The political leaders likewise believe that we are their burden ! What freedom has come to mean is that there was a paradigm shift when it comes to the owner of the burden . Jawaharlal Nehru , the grand old man of Indian democracy once said that 'if the Congress party put up a broom stick as a candidate under its symbol it would win any election in India' That probably represents the contempt that Indian politicians have the common man that they choose to rule . The solution lies with the people of India . Democracy gives them the right to demand that their views are given due respect when decisions are made . This is valid for the Nuclear Deal or for any political move that may have great relevance for the people of this country .

mMr.PKN you have quoted Nehru. But why did he encouraged dynasty rule to ruin india? Under the dynasty rule they have been encouraging "brooms" as their ministers/CMs/Governors/ even the lady President of India and elected a foreign born lady!!What a fall from ideals and or moral values!!

agree with both your comments.This deal has technical side and the legal side to it.Better for independant experts to review it and then recommend their stand.The government should make the recommendation public and then take a decision.Any tom dick and harry talks about the deal, while this is a job of an expert.Surely we do not tkae Karat's view as an expert view in this.For us what matters would be the view of someone like Dr Kalam and May be a solly sorabjee from legal point of view.The congress has botched up the process to take this deal forward and now is paying heavily for it
