Left leaders meet Manmohan Singh

Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI: Left leaders met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday ahead of his first official visit to the United States.

They expressed their concern over issues such as foreign direct investment in retail trade and the framework agreement on the India-U.S. defence relationship.

The Left parties also insisted that the Government clearly convey to the U.S. the stand on the Iran-Pakistan-India gas pipeline project.

All-India Forward Bloc general secretary Debabrata Biswas told The Hindu that the Government heard the Left concerns. Besides the Prime Minister, those present at the meeting included External Affairs Minister K. Natwar Singh.

The meeting comes at a time when Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Prakash Karat is away on a visit to China.
