A shocker?
New Delhi: During the US President Barack Obama’s visit to India, in an introduction with the CPM party’s Sitaram Yechury, in the Rashtrapati Bhavan, Obama expressed his happiness to meet an Indian Communist. While shaking hands with Yechury, Obama said, “Since I was told that the communists have been a part of mainstream politics of India throughout, I feel really pleased to meet an Indian Communist.”
Obama’s speech in the Parliament was attended by the leaders and MPs of the CPM and CPI, who kept aside their past practices of having anti-US stand.
