AGARTALA: The CPI-M would not tolerate sacrifice of national interest to enter into a nuclear deal with the US and preferred good relation with all countries instead of being close only to that country, party's politburo member Brinda Karat said.
"The sovereignty of the country is under threat because of this nuclear deal and we will not allow our country to be a constituent of any alliance with America. We will not tolerate any big brotherly attitude of that country," Karat said addressing a public function at Bishalgarh in West Tripura district yesterday.
She said earlier India maintained good relation with all countries and the CPI-M would expect the government to keep to this tradition instead of becoming close ally of only America as well as its strategic partners.
Subhasini Ali, a CPI-M Central Committee member, who also spoke in the meeting, criticised the UPA government for not tabling the Women's Reservation Bill in Parliament.
She said the Congress did not want to place the Bill in Parliament because it did not want to see women empowered. She said they would organise movements throughout the country to force the government to table the Bill without delay.
