| The Indo-US nuclear deal got a boost on Wednesday when former service chiefs, bureaucrats and top scientists wrote an open letter to the Members of Parliament.
Backing the deal, the letter read that the deal with US would open access to technologies denied to India till now.
The letter goes on to say that denial of technologies had prevented India from becoming a principal power and that India can't get Russian rectors without the Indo-US agreement.
''India is more vulnerable to foreign pressures without this deal. We are as free under the N-deal as we are without it, to produce nuclear weapons,'' the letter read.
The nuke deal became a bone of contention between the Left and the UPA Government.
The Left parties do not want deal in its present form, while Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, who has invested substantial political capital in this deal, has openly aired his displeasure over the Left's opposition to the deal.
