NDTV Correspondent Monday, October 8, 2007 (New Delhi) After senior Left leaders reacted to Congress chief Sonia Gandhi's remarks on the Indo-US nuke deal during a rally in Haryana, the Congress party has clarified that the remarks were only in the context of the political situation in Haryana.
It was a late night clarification from the Congress party after Left leaders said if there were elections, then the Congress will be responsible for it.
Earlier on Sunday, Sonia Gandhi had said that those who oppose the nuclear deal are enemies of progress.
The remark was seen to be a direct attack on the Left and perhaps a sign that elections are near.
The Left parties took strong exception to Gandhi's indirect but strong attack.
The CPI(M) Politbureau meet is expected soon after the UPA-Left committee meet on October 9, according to CPI(M) sources.
