Congress Undemocratic Ideology - 3

[acharya]

If the Left had objections to the deal, why raise them now, and not in 2005 itself?

I think there is no great mystery here. The Left took the prime minister at his word. Do not forget that the prime minister admitted to shortfalls in the deal and assured Parliament that the government remained concerned. We do not know if those flaws have been duly addressed. The lack of transparency on the government's part in placing the IAEA draft agreement for public scrutiny leads one to believe that grey areas remain.

It is sheer sophistry on the part of the government to keep dodging from allowing the document to be discussed publicly. The IAEA is a world body and India is a full-fledged member. There is nothing sacrosanct about this draft. Why is the government hiding behind lame excuses?
