New Delhi, Feb. 21: The CPM has attacked the Centre’s “ambiguous” stand on Kosovo’s independence, saying it was another instance of the Congress-led government’s “predilection” for toeing the American line.

An editorial in the forthcoming issue of party mouthpiece People’s Democracy says India, which faced a number of secessionist demands since Independence, should have been “categorical on this blatant violation of national sovereignty” and “brazen use of force to redraw territorial boundaries”.

Not coming out strongly against the move, the party says, speaks a lot “about the predilections of the UPA government”.

The CPM also alleged that the Centre does not want to take a line that appears to be in “dissonance” with the US.
