| The Left-UPA committee that is currently examining the Indo-US nuclear deal will meet for the third time on Friday.
The Left will demand some clear answers from the government, particularly on whether it plans to go ahead with negotiations on India-specific safeguards with the IAEA by this month.
A senior Left leader told NDTV that if that happens, the Left will have to take a decision on its support to the government.
Reacting to agency reports that say the government has already begun consultations with the IAEA, the Left leader said they would like to know the nature of these consultations but it's clear any negotiations with the IAEA will be the breaking point.
The Left will also closely watch the visit of IAEA chief Mohamed ElBaradei to New Delhi next week. Though it is expected that some informal talks on the nuclear deal may happen, the Left has warned against any move to formalise negotiations.
But discussions on India specific safeguards are not on the agenda during the IAEA chief's visit to New Delhi next week. When contacted by NDTV, the Department of Atomic Energy said ''No talks or meetings on India specific safeguards are scheduled during the IAEA chief's visit. All occasions in which IAEA chief is participating are public gatherings or visits to laboratories''.
