Mamata's Decision Has Tarnished Country's Image: CPI-M

New Delhi, Sep 6: West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s “sudden” decision to pull out of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s delegation to Bangladesh has “tarnished” the country’s image internationally, the CPI-M today said.

“Her sudden decision not to join the Prime Minister to go to Bangladesh one day before the visit has not only brought embarrassment to our country but also tarnished its image in the international arena,” party leader Sitaram Yechury told reporters here.

He, however, said the issue of Teesta river water sharing, on which Banerjee raised objections, was “serious and very important” but did not go into its details.
