Hundreds Protest U.S. Carrier in India

HeadlineJul 03, 2007

In India, hundreds of people gathered in the southern city of Chennai to protest the visit of a U.S. aircraft carrier. The nuclear-powered USS Nimitz is the first U.S. aircraft carrier to visit India’s ports.

David Pandian of the Communist Party of India: “We are totally opposed to the visit of this warship because it is a violation of our foreign policy. India has been — from the inception of its independence, has been following a neutral policy that has been aiming for world peace. But now the Manmohan Singh-led government has descended down to the low level of abdicating all that we stood for.”
