Dr. A.N. Prasad, Former Director, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre and a Consultant with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) avers:
"The preamble in the 123 text is the only portion faithful to the Joint Statement issued by both the parties on July 18, 2005. What follows in the document is an exercise of clever and at times dubious, depending on which side you are looking at it from, use of the language and words to give an illusory impression that the concerns arising from diverging interests and constraints of both sides have been duly reflected."
An anonymous writer states in The Hindu that the two clear source of motivation for the 1-2-3 Agreement for the United States are:
"...the commercial gain from nuclear commerce, and the more important one of containing India’s nuclear weapons programme, both qualitatively and quantitatively. Bringing the breeder reactor programme under international safeguards, pushing India to sign the Fissile Material Cut-off Treaty (FMCT) and continuing embargoes on uranium enrichment and re-processing are all part of this strategy."
