Left gives final warning to UPA Govt. on Indo-US N-Deal
MIL/Agencies, Sep 19, 2007.

New Delhi: September 19, 2007 - The Left (Communist) Party , which has an alliance with the United Progressive Alliance has given a final warning to their main UPA Govt.- on the Indo-US nuclear deal today that if they do not abide by their terms, they will create a political crisis for the UPA Govt. and it might fall and may go for a mid term poll.

The 15-member committee, headed by External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, has to meet at his official residence today. Before the meeting, the Left has give to give their concerns on 123 agreement and the Hyde Act.

This meeting is more important because US has to brief the 45-member Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) on Thursday about the Indo-US Nuclear deal.

According to reports, the briefing will take place on the sidelines of the ongoing IAEA meeting in Vienna. The NSG clearance and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) ratification of the India-specific safeguard agreements are crucial for the nuclear deal as per IANS.

However, neither Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Anil Kakodkar, who is attending the IAEA meeting, nor the government has spelt out New Delhi's position with regard to negotiations over the India specific safeguards. While government sources claimed that the IAEA negotiations were not part of 'operationalisation' of the deal, Left leaders argue that it includes the talks in Vienna also.

The government has committed to the Left that the findings of the 15-member committee would be taken into consideration before operationalisation of the deal.

CPI-M general secretary Prakash Karat has added another problem to the UPA Govt. On Tuesday to demand a pause of 6 months on the operation of the agreement, or face the consequences.
