THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Communist Party of India (Marxist) State secretary Pinarayi Vijayan has said that his party has no ‘hidden agenda’ in opposing the nuclear agreement between India and the U.S. as alleged by Congress leader and Union Minister Kapil Sibal. “We have only national interests in our mind. We have expressed our opposition to the nuclear deal in public. It is the U.S. that is having a ‘hidden agenda’ in roping India into the nuclear agreement, and the leaders of the Congress and United Progressive Alliance (UPA) are conniving with that agenda,” Mr. Vijayan said while addressing a discussion organised by the Kerala University Students’ Union here on Tuesday. The CPI (M) leader alleged that the U.S. was conspiring to make India its strategic partner through the nuclear deal. Their intention was to use India as a base for carrying out their imperialistic military adventures. They were also trying to convert India into a major market for their companies engaged in the arms manufacture. The frequent interaction between the officials of the armed forces of India and the U.S. could be dangerous, because that would lead to the loss of nationalistic character of the Indian defence forces. He said the CPI (M) had not yet demanded outright rejection of the deal. ``All that we have demanded is to put the deal on hold and defer further steps like discussions with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). But if the Government went ahead with its plans, it is the UPA leadership which will have to bear the consequences.”
