CHENNAI: All India Political Affairs Committee of Indian National League (INL) on Sunday urged the Centre to drop the nuclear agreement with United States.

Addressing the members, INL president Mohammed Sulaiman said although the United Progressive Alliance Government claimed that the nuclear pact would benefit the country, it might cause severe damage. Hence, it had to be dropped.

INL has electoral alliance with CPI (M) in Kerala. In West Bengal, INL is in the front floated by Tirnamool Congress. In Tamil Nadu, it is contemplating to associate with a front that would keep away the fascist forces. “It is the consistent policy of INL to keep away all fascist forces representing the Sang Pariwar,” Mr. Sulaiman said.

The Committee urged the Centre not to increase the price of petroleum products. Mr. Sulaiman said though there had been economic development in the country, it had not reached the common people.

He asked the Centre to control the Foreign Direct Investment and the role of multinational companies.
