CPI writes to PM, warns of pullout

In further hardening of Left stand, CPI on Friday warned the government of withdrawal of support if it goes ahead with the Indo-US nuclear deal. "Should the government decide to push ahead with the deal, we will not and cannot be a party to go along with it. We will then be left with no other option than to withdraw our support to the government," CPI General Secretary A B Bardhan said in a letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
