India possible U.S. ally for attacking Iran: Yechury
New Delhi, July 22 (PTI) - CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury Monday accused the United States of trying to make India a strategic ally to attack Iran once New Delhi signs theIndo-U.S. nuclear deal.
"The country's security is under threat as the U.S is planning to launch an attack on Iran, and India will be forced to join ranks with the U.S. as a strategic ally," said Yechuryduring a protest on nuclear deal.
Noting that Iran recently acquired nuclear capability and thus drew U.S. ire, Yechury said that India "will end up servicing U.S. planes and warships during an all out attack on Iran." Yechury said the Left parties had warned the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh several times not to side with theBush administration.
"Prime ministers in several countries like France, U.K., Australia and Japan had to lose their jobs for siding with the Bush administration. Here too, we will not stop till the United Progressive Alliance government is defeated," Yechury said. PTI DEY
