Security council

NEW DELHI - In a virtual fulfillment of India's long-standing wishlist, US President Barack Obama Monday declared support for India's bid for a permanent seat in the UN Security Council, pressured Pakistan to bring the 26/11 terrorists to justice and eased high-tech exports to New Delhi, thus placing the India-US partnership at the heart of an emerging world order.

NEW DELHI - Describing his speech as "disappointing and ambiguous", the Left parties Monday reacted adversely to Barack Obama's address in the Indian Parliament and said it had no mention of the "suffering and poverty caused by the US policies".

NEW DELHI - Members of Parliament belonging to regional political parties Monday welcomed US President Barack Obama's address here to Indian parliamentarians, but said it had to be seen "how the promises translate into action".

NEW DELHI - US President Barack Obama obviously had the Indian parliament in thrall.
