Activists of the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) shout slogans during a protest in New Delhi August 23, 2007. Dozens of party activists shouted slogans and burnt an effigy of the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to protest against the Indo-U.S nuclear deal which was finalised last month, an official release said on Thursday. The nuclear deal aims to give India access to U.S. nuclear fuel and equipment for the first time in 30 years to help meet its soaring energy needs, even though it has stayed out of non-proliferation pacts and tested nuclear weapons.
