Members of the Congress youth wing demonstrated outside the U.S. Information Service library in New Delhi, shouting: "Shame, shame, shame on the CIA." They were parroting the inevitable, automatic cry of Indian pro-Soviet Communist leaders and some Congress Party politicians who have charged that the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency was linked to the imprisoned opposition leaders...
