CPI(M) opposed to Indo-US nuke deal
PTI, New Delhi
Notwithstanding the Prime Minister's statement on Indo-US joint agreement which senior party leaders described as "generally alright", CPI (M) general secretary Prakash Karat yesterday maintained his party had reservations over some contents of the agreement.Observing that the "the trend of becoming a strategic US ally, started by erstwhile NDA government continues", Karat said the party would focus on "what is harmful in these agreements for our strategic and security interests" and conduct seminars and meetings on the issue. Karat said the Indo-US Joint Statement issued during the Prime Minister's visit "shows the continuation of the trend of India being accommodated as an ally" of the US.
