'Nuclear Deal Against Interests Of India'

 

The Left parties have issued the following statement on October 8, 2007. CPI(M) general secretary Prakash Karat, CPI general secretary A B Bardhan, RSP secretary Abani Roy and Forward Bloc general secretary Debebrata Biswas were signatories to the statement.

 

THE Left parties categorically reiterate that the nuclear deal with the United States is against the interests of India. Those who advocate the deal should know that India is capable of developing nuclear energy primarily on a self-reliant basis. We need not surrender our vital interests to America on this plea.
