"The country's security is under threat as the US is planning to launch an attack on Iran, and India will be forced to join ranks with the US as a strategic ally," said Yechury during a protest on nuclear deal.     

Noting that Iran recently acquired nuclear capability and thus drew US ire, Yechury said that India "will end up servicing US planes and warships during an all out attack on Iran."     

Yechury said the Left parties had warned the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh several times not to side with the Bush administration.     

 

"Prime ministers in several countries like France, UK, Australia and Japan had to lose their jobs for siding with the Bush administration. Here too, we will not stop till the UPA government is defeated," Yechury said.
