A year after the Indo-US nuclear deal posed a major threat to the UPA government and caused serious disruptions in Parliament, the next phase of that deal, the End User Monitoring Agreement, is becoming a huge controversy.
After the Opposition staged walkouts on Tuesday, describing the agreement as a sellout.
The Congress leadership is in a huddle. Party president Sonia Gandhi is holding a high-level meeting with Pranab Mukherjee, AK Antony and Ahmed Patel.
End User Agreement: The controversy
So what exactly is this deal about? And what are the objections?
But the opposition and even some UPA allies are critical of the government accusing it of succumbing to US pressure.
The DMK has also sought clarifications as well on this.
The government insists such inspections will be done at a place and time of India's choice and with mutual consultation. And this will be binding for all US military sales in the future not even changes in any US law in the future will impact the agreement.
