India's Nuclear Deal

Who is lying? Our PM or the US President? (US presidents have a rich tradition in lying to the congress) Does it matter any how? 

Read this today's TOI article for some answers:

[...] At the end of the day, the US cannot take any position other than to assert that it has the right to terminate cooperation in such an eventuality. On India's part, we have been equally vigorous in maintaining our right to test in compelling circumstances. This argument would be decided by sovereign decisions and national interests, not by legalistic wording. 

While Mr. Arun Shourie declares that it is indubitably our PM MMS who is lying (The article is pasted below in this blog post link.) Mr. Shourie has given several solid proofs about the way the present government, and so does the managed parts of the media, have been blatantly declaring that the Nuclear Agreement is in complete favor of India (One major agreement in this support is that India has complete rights to test the Nuclear bomb, even if it is meant for peaceful purpose, without the deal being hijacked neither by US nor by other nations who are involved with us in nuclear commerce.)

Current Update: India gets NSG waiver. This doesn't yet mean that India can get technology immediately. This deal will now go to the US congress for approval.

The first few paras in the NDTV report gives us the sense of how successful India in clinching the support of NSG. 

NDTV report:

The 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) has finally given its nod to the Indo-US nuclear deal in Vienna on Saturday.

Ending three decades of isolation, India has joined the elite nuclear club. The NSG waiver has come through on the third day of the crucial talks in Vienna after push from the highest political level, the opposing countries gave their nod.

Sources say apart from External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee's statement, there is no reference to ban on tests or termination of deal if India tests.

[...]Atomic Energy's chief negotiator in Vienna Ravi B Grover told NDTV that it's a clean waiver for India at the NSG, changes in the draft made have been mutually agreed upon.(emphasis mine)
