New Delhi: A day after
Muammar Gaddafi was killed, the Left parties Friday accused the
US-NATO combine for launching a "blatant aggression" for a regime
change to gain control over oil reserves and for strategic
dominance.
"The main aim of the US-NATO intervention in Libya has been
fulfilled with the killing of Gaddafi," the Communist Party of
India-Maxist (CPI-M) said in a statement.
"From the outset, the blatant aggression of the US-NATO was to
effect a regime change in Libya even though it was proclaimed as
an intervention to save the Libyan people and for establishment of
democracy."
The party labelled the West's claim that Gaddafi's killing marked
the end of despotic rule as "sheer hypocrisy" and contended that
"it is the US and its allies which prop up the most despotic
regimes".
The party argued that it was for the Libyan people to decide what
type of government and political system they want.
"This is not something which can be imposed by the US and NATO by
force of arms."
The CPI-ML (Liberation) blamed NATO-backed fighters for Gaddafi's
killing "in cold blood". It was "ironic that such a blatant war
crime is being welcomed by the imperialist US and its allies".
"The US-NATO aggression on Libya is yet another instance when the
imperialist quest for oil and strategic dominance in the region is
being dressed up as an altruistic support for democratic regime
change," said party general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya.
