Arjun justifies Left stand

Bhopal: Virtually defending Left parties’ protest on Indo-US civil Nuclear deal, senior Congress leader and Union Minister Arjun Singh on Friday said “no pressure is unjustified in a democratic set up”. “In a democracy, no pressure is unjustified,” Mr. Singh told reporters when asked to comment on whether the ‘pressure’ exerted by the Left parties on the issue of proposed nuclear deal with US is unjustified.

Talking to reporters, after unveiling the foundation stone of the new building of a Kendriya Vidyalaya here, Mr. Singh said that the decision on the nuclear deal was taken by the Union Cabinet after taking into account several issues.

On the issue of mid-term polls in the wake of standoff between UPA and Left parties on the nuclear issue, Mr. Singh avoiding a categorical reply on the issue merely said, “I would not be contesting polls. Even if it has to be held, then political parties will decide about it.” -- PTI
