The Central Committee of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) met in New Delhi from November 19-21, 2010. It has issued the following statement:
The outcome of the visit of the US President Obama has been to promote the business and commercial interests of the United States and to draw India into a closer military and security relationship. The joint statement issued after the visit has talked about opening up Indian agriculture and retail trade for American MNCs. This will be detrimental to the interests of the crores of small and marginal farmers and small retail shop owners and traders. The joint statement spells out a close defence and security relationship which involves buying US weapons on a large scale.
The Manmohan Singh government seems to be falling in step with the geopolitical strategy of the United States in order to earn the US endorsement for India’s permanent membership of the Security Council. There are no prospects in the immediate future for such a membership to materialize. When it does so, it has to be on the basis of India’s independent role and influence and when the United Nations structure is democratised.
