THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Prakash Karat said on Tuesday that the India-U.S. strategic partnership, of which the civilian nuclear deal was a component, would put India in the same position as Pakistan where the civilian government had little control over the dealings between its Army and the U.S. armed forces.
Inaugurating a national seminar on the nuclear deal organised by the AKG Centre for Research and Studies here, Mr. Karat cited a recent meeting between the U.S. defence services chief and his Pakistani counterpart Ashfaq Parvez Kayani on board the USS Abraham Lincoln as an event that showed that the civilian government had little control over the dealings between the U.S. and the Pakistan armed forces.
“This is the plight that India should not get into,” Mr. Karat said.
