Kolkata: Left parties protest against Obama's visit to India
Left Front chairman Biman Basu, opposition leader of West Bengal Legislative Assembly Suryakanta Mishra, CPI-M leader Rabin Deb, CPI leader Manju Kumar Majumder and other top leaders of the parties joined the rally.
Almost 1000 people walked in the protest march, reports said.
Making a barricade, the police stopped the rally near Park Street crossing, 150 meters away from the American Center.
Meanwhile, US president Barack Obama and wife Michelle on Saturday left for their three-day visit to India.
Obama will be coming to India on an invitation by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to attend this year's Republic Day parade.
