The CPI(M) took a dig at the BJP for seeking a Joint Parliamentary Committee to go into the N-deal saying the Opposition party should first set up a BJP committee.
NEW DELHI: The CPI(M) on Friday took a dig at the BJP for seeking a Joint Parliamentary Committee to go into the Indo-US nuclear deal saying the main Opposition party should first set up a BJP committee (BJPC) to resolve their inner contradictions.
The Left party also came down heavily on the BJP for 'bringing the House to a standstill' on the nuclear-deal issue thus "allowing the government to get rid of discussions not only on the nuclear deal but also on other important issues."
"The BJP should set up a BJPC to find out where they stand because they are changing their position every day. The Committee can have BJP's internal leadership and those controlling it from outside as its members," senior CPI (M) leader Mohd Salim told here.
Salim's comments were in an apparent reference to the different views among senior BJP leaders on the nuclear deal.
He claimed the BJP never came out with specific objections to the deal like the Left parties had done.
"Let the BJP first decide what they want to do on the issue. What they oppose and why they oppose. Let them come out with a list of their objections," he added.
Asked about Samajwadi Party's demand for a separate mechanism for addressing the concerns of other parties, he said it has been the CPI (M)'s stand that the Government should take note of the positions held by different political parties on the issue.
"Every party has the right to demand. The government should take into consideration the views of all before proceeding further."
