Lambasts
Obama Statement The
Polit Bureau of the
Communist Party of THE
Polit Bureau of the
CPI(M) objects to the remarks made by President Obama that
India open the doors
to WalMart for retail trade and other American investments
in India. The
statement by Obama is a brazen attempt to pressurise the
UPA government to
adopt such steps as opening multibrand retail to FDI. The
Manmohan Singh
government should not succumb to this pressure. The CPI(M)
wants the government
not to open up retail trade to foreign supermarket chains
which will endanger
the livelihoods of lakhs of small shopkeepers and traders.
