New Delhi, March 8: The CPI(M) said the Government should take the next step on the Indo-US nuclear deal only on the basis of the UPA-Left Committee's findings and should drop it if it is not approved by the panel.

"The talks are going on even in Vienna. Whether our concerns will be addressed in these talks will be known only when this Committee meets again.

"The UPA has agreed in writing that the Government will proceed on the basis of this Committee's findings. If the Committee says it (deal) is not correct, then the Government has to follow it," CPI(M) Politburo member Sitaram Yechury told reporters on the sidelines of the party Central Committee meeting here.

He said even some of the UPA partners felt the "Left concerns are genuine" and these parties wanted them to be addressed.

"The government feels the deal is in the national interest, but we feel it is not. Now the talks are on (at the IAEA in Vienna). Whether our concerns would be addressed at these talks will be known only when the Indian team returns," Yechury said in reply to questions.

Asked about CPI General Secretary A B Bardhan's threat to pull out support if the government went ahead with the deal, he said "our agenda is the nuclear deal and not the stability of the government or an early or late election. That is for the government to decide."

Position of Left parties by Sujith on 10 Mar 2008

The existence of left parties is based on hate against America.They have even opposed computerisation in the 80's, because computers came from America.They blindly oppose anything and everything that involves America, regardless of national interest.

Drop the nuclear deal, drop the nuclear deal, said the C.P.I(M) or we will drop the nuclear bomb on you, and scared the U.P.A. out of its wit.

nuclear energy by vatsal dixit on 08 Mar 2008

for a just cause it is better to leave the attraction of rein of power.congress shoud go ahead with the nuclear energy deal since it is very obviously in the interest of the nation to make it self sufficient for meeting its long term energy requirements viably future re.left party is just as blind in viewing the issue under its coloured glasses of its opposition to anything thatis coming from the non communist countries and so called american imperilism. just as the bjp is colour blind and looks every issue with the hindu religion at the back of the mind wihout checking the issue on its merit that whether it is in the interest of nation or not.
