No reference to Pak by Obama ‘not surprising’: CPI

The CPI on Saturday accused the US of pursuing “double standards” in the fight against terror saying absence of any reference to Pakistan by President Barack Obama was “not surprising”.

“It is not at all surprising. The US pursues double standards. When it is attacked,it takes one position. When any other country is attacked it takes another stand. Our government should take note of this,” CPI National Secretary D Raja said here.

He said the arrest of LeT activist David Headley in the US and his interrogation had revealed that Pakistan’s soil was being used by various terror outfits to carry out their activities.

“Avoiding any mention of that shows that the US President is continuing to pursue that double standard,” Raja said.
