Just FYI, the BJP is also opposed to the deal and you'd be surprised to know that my reasons for opposing the deal are much closer to theirs than to the communists.
The discussion we were having had nothing to do with the deal. The point raised was about the supply of spare parts for the Super Hornets if India goes for them. You contradicted my earlier statement where I had stated that India would rather grow economically then conduct nuclear tests. There is no need to conduct anymore tests, atleast in the near future; because growing economically and raising the living standards of one's own people is much more important then conducting some nuclear tests especially since the nuclear stand-off is already pretty much locked down. So to say that Super Hornets shouldn't be bought because of fear of sanctions if India tests more nukes, is quite a moot point. If there is no plan to test a nuke, then why would anyone raise that point (Indian commies are an exception)?
