A resolution to this effect was passed in the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting in New Delhi, presided over by leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha LK Advani. The party also decided to go ahead with its own resolution, if the Left parties, supporting the UPA government from outside, were either unwilling or reluctant to associate with the BJP, party spokesman Vijay Kumar Malhotra told media persons after the meeting.

"Opposing the treaty is necessary in the national interest - with or without the Communists," he said.

Prof Malhotra said the party also decided to raise the Bofors scandal after the sensational revelations by former Union Minister and key Rajiv Gandhi aide Arun Singh that "somebody certainly received kickbacks money in the gun deal."

The party will also raise the issue of permitting defreezing of the London bank accounts of the Italian fugitive Ottavio Quattrocchi, revelations about the Russian intelligence agency KGB's penetration into the key decision-making bodies during the Indira Gandhi regime as revealed by former KGB agent Vasilli Mitrokhin.

Other scandals like navy war room leak, and the Scorpene submarine deals will also not be spared.
