Left parties on Thursday equated Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s remarks that “many forces” would not like to see India realise its potential with that of Indira Gandhi raising the bogey of foreign hand to justify imposition of Emergency and sought a clarification from him.

While CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said it was “disturbingly familiar” to Indira Gandhi’s arguments, CPI’s D. Raja said the Prime Minister should clarify which “forces” he was talking about in his statement in Parliament yesterday.

In his statement on the police action against Anna Hazare and his supporters, Dr. Singh had said, “We are now emerging as one of the important players on the world stage. There are many forces that would not like to see India realise its true place in the comity of nations. We must not play into their hands. We must not create an environment in which our economic progress is hijacked by internal dissention.”

ANTI-CORRUPTION MOVEMENT: "Foreign hand" in Anna movement: baffling Congress allegation!

New Delhi:  Suspecting "foreign" hand behind Anna Hazare's anti-graft movement, Congress today raised questions on the US' statement that India would exercise "appropriate democratic restraint" in dealing with peaceful protest and asked the government to inquire how a "lone" civil rights activist is drawing support.

"US never supported any movement in India since its independence. For the first time, the US said that Anna Hazare's movement should be allowed and there should be no obstruction to it. What was the need for the US to give this statement?

"It needs to be considered whether there is any power which is supporting this movement which wants to destabilize not only the government but the country. We need to take the statement of the US seriously,"

01) The day Congress rids itself of its 'Shooting-in-the-Mouth' spokespersons that it has now, it will stop committing blunder after blunder as it has been doing, lately!

02) It is an insult to the intelligence of the common people of all ages, stations-in-life and of diverse backgrounds, converging on each city centre, from across India, supporting 'Anna Hazare' - a simpleton, ex-army Jawan, from a remote village - who has been raising his voice against the corruption, that they are instigated by a foreign power or a local one!

03) Congress leadership is definitely, not listening to the voice of the people of India and foolishly believe that those who shout on the streets aren't those who voted them to power in 2009 and who would vote in 2014!!!

Self-confessed Pakistani-American terrorist David Coleman Headley's handler from Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Maj Iqbal used a unique cell phone with a US number to stay in touch with the key Mumbai attack plotter.

During cross examination Thursday in a Chicago court by lawyers defending his longtime friend Pakistan born Tahawwur Rana, Headley aka Daood Gilani said Iqbal used this phone because he believed most phone calls between Pakistan and India were monitored.

"It (Iqbal's phone) was a fairly unique cell phone?" asked Rana's lawyer Charles Swift.

Headley: "Major Iqbal had a unique cell phone (with US number). Through that he contacted me when I was in India. He gave me the number."
