new-clear liability on US

If you have not missed the brawl in parliament about the Manmohan's nuclear liability bill then you have not missed anything. Government decided to table this bill to facilitate nuclear business liability laws. In a very sporadic gesture, before even the debate could take place, it was withdrawn. When the reasons were asked, government expressed its discretion to not give a reason. Well I thought parliament is place where you seek answers and plans for the benefit of countrymen. But in hush and rush media was given brief introduction and in my own words the bills concludes that in case of any accident with nuclear plant, the private organization will be liable to pay a cap of max "xyz" amount. Now weather the destruction is of a city , state or more the company pays the amount and is done with it. Intellectuals were of the opinion that there should be a committee to analyze the destruction and levy fines.
The haste to place the bill in house was due to certain US corporations insistence after union carbide case in Bhopal where huge amount was levied by Indian courts. They argue that they had to pay a huge sum to get rid of the case. Well well... we had been doing nuclear trade with Russia from ages. They never insisted.
Anyhow, I m not opposed to any kind of liability bill but who pays rest of the liability and the government says "We". So the common man tax payer money pays the price of a fault committed by a private firm. Amazing how does such things are even tabled by the law making crooks. The sources say that this was exact clause wanted by GE corp and one other US firm.
