Was secrecy over IAEA pact justified?
C UDAY BHASKAR Strategic Analyst and Commentator It was prudent not to release it earlier NO. I am of the considered view that the government of India (GOI) did not have to make public the agreed text of the India-specific IAEA agreement earlier than it did. While it is true that this issue has become a lightning rod for the breakdown between the UPA and the left parties, the larger international and domestic political context must be taken note of.
