CPI to launch protest against UPA

The CPI would rope in other like-minded parties to launch country-wide protests against the UPA government for "cheating" the people on Indo-US nuclear deal, the party's deputy general secretary S Sudhakar Reddy said in Hyderabad late on Thursday.

"The latest disclosure on American conditionalities has vindicated our position that the deal is not in the interests of the country. The UPA government has no moral right to continue in office," he told reporters.

He said it was a serious matter that the Manmohan Singh government kept the Parliament and people in dark about the issues involved in the nuke deal.

The purported correspondence between American President George Bush and the US Congress took place nine months back when the UPA-Left co-ordiantion committee was very much in place but was not informed about it by the government, he said.

"We will take up a joint action in co-ordination with other parties, who are opposed to the deal," the CPI leader said.

Meanwhile, UNPA convener and TDP Chief N Chandrababu Naidu slammed the government over the issue and said UPA has lost moral right to continue in office.
