Declin-ing to be carried away by the controversy over the WikiLeaks’ revelation of the CPI(M) leaders meeting US diplomats and discussing investment possibilities when in power in Kerala, party’s state secretary Pinarayi Vijayan said it was not a “big issue” as the party had a clear stand on foreign investment.
“This is not an issue which even requires to be discussed within the party. Our firm stand is there is nothing wrong in accepting foreign investment based on clear-cut conditions if that helped the country,” Mr Vijayan told reporters here.
He was reacting to queries on revelations that when the LDF was in power, the US consular teams had met CPI(M) leaders and that the former had shown keen interest in getting US investment. — PTI
