SEVERAL ORGANISATIONS associated with the Community Party have decided to oppose the forthcoming visit of US President George Bush scheduled in the first week of March.
CPM, CPI, RSP, Forward Bloc and Socialist Front have decided to oppose the visit of US President George Bush. They have also demanded an independent foreign policy from the UPA Government.
Talking to newspersons here on Monday, senior trade union leader Arvind Raj Swaroop lambasted the UPA Government for towing a policy dictated by USA.
“The forthcoming visit of George Bush is aimed at further pressuring the Indian government,” stated Swaroop. This had already been proved by the statements given by US ambassador David Mulford recently, added Swaroop. Also present on the occasion senior CITU leader Arvind Kumar said, “As per the agreements under the Common Minimum Program, the UPA government must formulate a independent foreign policy devoid of any American interference.”
