Indian-American team to meet Left parties, BJP

New Delhi: A delegation of Indian-Americans, who lobbied hard in the U.S. in favour of the India-U.S. civil nuclear deal, will hold discussions later this month with the Left parties, which continue to be at loggerheads with the United Progressive Alliance government on the issue.

A 10-member delegation led by the United States India Political Action Committee (USINPAC) will meet the Indian leadership across the political spectrum, including the BJP, the Left parties and the Third Front.

“We will try and understand their position on the nuclear deal and their opposition to it,” Robinder Sachdev, founding member and director, USINPAC, told PTI here.

The delegation, which will have representatives from various Indian-American associations, is expected to be in the capital between October 22 and 24. — PTI
