New Delhi, May 20 :    New Delhi, May 20:  The Left leadership believes that Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee shares its assessment that talk of a 'limited war' with Pakistan is highly unrealistic. Any action against Pakistan, the Left underlines, is bound to escalate into a full-fledged war. In a 45-minute one-to-one meeting with the Prime Minister today, CPI general secretary A.B. Bardhan told Vajpayee that India and Pakistan shared a common border and that there could be no such thing as limited action against Pakistan. War, the CPI leader told the Prime Minister, is 'not a solution'. The Left's anti-war stand was made clear in the Parliament debate on the Jammu killings the day the budget session ended. After meeting Congress president Sonia Gandhi, the Prime Minister today met the CPI general secretary to sound out the Left's views on the present Indo-Pak tension. CPM general secretary Harkishen Singh Surjeet will meet Vajpayee tomorrow. Bardhan asked the Prime Minister to jettison plans, if any, of a possible war with Pakistan and instead, step up the diplomatic offensive. For instance, he suggested an economic action like mobilising international support to strip Pakistan of trade concessions. The government's decision to recall the Islamabad envoy, Bardhan told the Prime Minister, was a 'step in the right direction -- but not enough'. It is understood that the Left has struck a chord of agreement with the Prime Minister on the impossibility of a 'limited' Indo-Pak war. 'A war with Pakistan cannot be like a war between the US and Afghanistan. We share a common border,' Bardhan later said. Another area where the government and the Left seem to agree is the inadequate pressure put by the US on Pakistan. Bardhan told the Prime Minister that the US must pressure Pakistan to disband all terrorist training camps and cut off economic assistance to them. 'The government keeps telling us that the US is a natural ally in the fight against terrorism. But they are indulging in double-speak,' Bardhan said.
