Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the
following statement:

 

 

Do Not Succumb to US Pressures 

for Unilateral Military Intervention

 

 

The Obama administration has been putting great pressure on India of late to
join a US-led coalition against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It may
take advantage of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's presence in New York at the
moment to make India fall in line with its plans. 

 

The Government of India must, under no circumstances, fall prey to these
machinations. It must never join any unilateral U.S. initiative of this
sort, no matter how strongly such an initiative is portrayed as defending
"humanity" against "the forces of barbarism". 

 

Any international response to the ISIS must have the sanction of the United
Nations, without which it carries no legitimacy. 

 

The Polit Bureau of the CPI(M) warns the Modi government that it must never
deviate from this basic position which India has always upheld and which
commands a consensus in the country.
