The Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) Friday attacked the Manmohan Singh government for 'forging a deep security and military collaboration with Israel' and raised questions about the launching of Israeli spy satellites by India.
The CPI-M, which fiercely opposed the India-US nuclear deal, accused the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government of 'obfuscating' facts about the launch of Israeli satellites and alleged this collaboration was part of the 'overall India-Israel-US axis'.
'The Congress-led government has been surreptitiously forging a deep security and military collaboration with Israel,' the CPI-M politburo said in a statement.
'The launching of Israeli spy satellites is just one aspect of this collaboration which is part of the overall India-Israel-US axis. The launch of an Israeli-made spy satellite and the trilateral joint naval exercises off the coast of Japan are the two latest instances,' the party said.
The statement refers to the the Israeli-made satellite, Radar Imaging Satellite-2 (RISAT-2), which was launched by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) April 20.
The surveillance satellite has the capability to maintain vigil on the country's borders even at night and through clouds.

Well,one wonders what the CPI-M wants.
Don't they recognize that terrorism from across the border is India's biggest threat?
Do they want India to continue suffering from cross-border terrorism?
Don't they understand that the spy satellite could help India to effectively keep track of pak terrorists crossing into India.
Don't they want a terror free atmosphere in India?
A spy satellite may not result in a dramatic reduction in cross-border terrorism in India.But it obviously will be a value addition to India's effort at eliminating terror emanating from pak.
CPI-M wants India to have no relationship with Israel because of the Israel-Palestine problem?Is that the reason?
It's absolutely clear that they are not at all worried about the innocent Palestinian people,but only want a few more Muslim votes..
It's true that Israel has been very brutal and merciless with the Palestinian population.Now if the CPI-M pledges that this indeed is the reason for India to not have any relation with Israel,then why is CPI-M not opposing India's diplomatic relationship with pakistan?
After all pakistan has been pumping in terrorists to India as a state policy.Thousands of innocent Indians have lost their lives in numerous terror attacks all through India,all actively engineered by pak agencies.
Again,what about India's diplomatic and trade relationship with China?
china illegally occupies big chunk of Indian territory.It does not recognize Sikkim,Arunachal Pradesh as part of India.
It continues to arm India's arch-rival pak with weapons.It continues to oppose India's bid to get a UN security council seat..
Who can forget the humiliation that China inflicted on India in 1962..
China is brutally occupying Tibet and a vast majority of Tibetan people are living in many different countries as refugees.
China is an undemocratic country..
Why is CPI-M blind to all these??
Inspite of all these,I have not read or heard a single critical statement from any of the Left parties all through these years against China..!!
Only heard lavish praise by communist leaders..
If China had signed a nuclear deal with India,the CPI-M would not only have been very happy but also they would have claimed absolute credit for it...!!
Israel as a country has never hurt India.On the contrary it has only helped India with the most modern weapons and now with the much needed spy satellite.Even though India's relation with Israel is more and more warm,India has never shied away from criticizing Israel's high-handedness against innocent civilians in Gaza.And Israel has accepted that India has a very solid traditional stand on the Palestinian problem.India should continue with that stand and if possible try and nudge Israel towards a mutually acceptable solution to their issues with Palestine.After all India will be one of the few countries in the world that has an excellent relationship with both Palestine and Israel..
As for CPI-M which continues to dream of an India of stone-age,well,what can one say..
Throughout the history of the party,they always opposed any thing positive that happens to India..
May be they are fully in sync with China's unwritten policy of not allowing India to be a Great Power..
An interesting thing to note is,even though the left parties are fiercely opposed to India having any relationship with Israel,the communist government of West Bengal is doing normal business with that country...!!!
