CPI(M) harps on N-deal opposition

KOLKATA: The CPI(M) will oppose the Indo-US nuclear deal, which was today passed by the US House of Representatives, when Prime Minister Manmohan Singh comes back to the parliament to discuss the treaty, politburo member Sitaram Yechuri said.

“We hope he (Singh) will bring it and we will oppose it,'' Yechury said. Claiming that the Left parties' apprehensions over the deal would come true, Yechuri told newspersons here “The Americans and the Manmohan Singh government wanted it. Our opinion o n this is well-known.''

“This will only lead to India's surrender to American dictate and this will have implications and bearing beyond the nuclear deal,'' he said adding, “It is not surprising that the Senate will also approve it,''

The deal is likely to be put up for vote before US Senate tomorrow. Another party leader Biman Bose called for a “jihad'' against the deal by uniting all sections of people. “It will endanger India's sovereignty and independent foreign policy,'' Bose s aid. – PTI
