Left parties announce anti-Bush protest plans
Special Correspondent
NEW DELHI:
As U.S. President George Bush arrived on Wednesday night on his State visit, the Left parties announced a programme of protest for Thursday both inside and outside Parliament.
The Left parties will start the day with MPs holding a demonstration outside the main gate of Parliament from 10 a.m.
When Parliament assembles an hour later, they will press for the suspension of question hour and urge the House to take up the issue.
"President George Bush's visit to India is an affront to Indian Parliament which passed a resolution calling for the withdrawal of occupation forces led by the United States from Iraq," Communist Party of India (Marxist) Rajya Sabha leader Nilotpal Basu and Lok Sabha leader Basudeb Acharia said here.
Thereafter, the Left leaders will join party colleagues and workers in a protest rally from Ramlila Maidan to Parliament Street, where they are expected to address those assembled.
