NEW
DELHI: Describing India's bid to gain the NSG waiver as "another surrender", the
CPM on Sunday said its fight against the Indo-US nuclear deal was not over and
it would work now to see a new government in power which would terminate the 123
Agreement. (

"Our
political battle is here and not in Vienna or Washington. Earlier we withdrew
support on this issue and we are now fighting against this ruling coalition. The
struggle to rescind or reverse this deal is agreement is not over.
"After the next elections, our
goal will be to see that the new government take step to terminate the 123
Agreement. ... We will work for this," CPM general secretary Prakash Karat told
reporters here.
He said his
party had told the Congress to take the people's mandate before going ahead with
operationalising the deal, for which the UPA Government has "converted its
voluntary moratorium on nuclear testing into a multi-lateral commitment".
India would not get any better
terms from any other country supplying nuclear fuel or reactors as all of them
would now align with the 123 Agreement, Karat said.
