India should back Iraq: Tariq Anwar Yamunanagar, March 26 Tariq Anwar, who was here along with Mr Ved Pal, national president of the Kisan cell of the NCP, said the Central Government should openly support Iraq because it had always supported India on the Kashmir as well as Bangladesh issues. He lashed out at the USA for attacking Iraq without taking International community into confidence. The NCP leader said if the Congress contested the next elections under the leadership of Sonia Gandhi and if they projected her as future Prime Minister then the NCP would join hands with the Third Front. He said if the Congress projected somebody else as the Prime Minister then the NCP could join hands with the Congress. He criticised the Central Government for its wrong agricultural policies. Farmers of many states had been forced to commit suicide. He said the prices of fertilisers, petrol and diesel had been increased manifold. He reminded that when the NDA came to power it promised to provide employment to one crore youth but now it was encouraging privatisation resulting in the unemployment problem. He said the party had launched its membership drive in the country. He said by May 2003 block-level units would be constituted. A two-day national sammelan would be organised in Delhi from May 30, he added. |
