    Shall we know the qualification, experience and foreign exposure of these so call expert? Even a country has the FTA with any other country, it should get approval from import and export controller from both countries.

    Who was the witness to the signing of this agreement. We you hypnotised? Why didn't you ask for the details? If you did and still didn't get it, why did you preside over the signing of it?
