Probe sought into purchase of US Navy ship


Members belonging to two main Communist parties on Monday demanded a probe into the purchase of United States Navy's ship USS Trenton by India in view of objections raised by the comptroller and auditor general of India.

Raising the issue in the Lok Sabha during Zero hour, Gurudas Dasgupta of the Communist Party of India dubbed the purchase of the US vessel an irresponsible, anti-national and uneconomic corrupt deal and wondered if it was a political deal to get closer to the United States.
