Citing the recent trespass of US Navy ships into Lakshadweep region, CPI on Monday said that India must withdraw from Quad alliance. The Communist party also blamed Modi Government for weak stand on US’ arrogance. “Communist Party of India expresses its
serious concern about the American Seventh Fleet warship’s blatant intrusion into India’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) waters off the coast of Lakshadweep violating international law and the sovereignty of our country.
“Moreover, the arrogant statement of the Seventh Fleet exposes its intentions not to respect the long-standing India’s maritime claims.
At the same time the response of the Indian government is very weak. It shows once again in the name of strengthening its role in the Indo-Pacific, it became a junior partner to the US and serving the American interests in Indo-Pacific by joining the Quad alliance,” CPI National Secretariat in a statement.
Communist Party of India strongly demands that to safeguard our sovereignty and self-respect it should come out from the Quad alliance, added the statement, urging Modi Government to maintain India’s sovereignty and self respect.
