| With the political wrangling over Indo-US nuclear deal refusing to die down, sources have told NDTV that a special Parliament session may be called.
On Monday UPA-Left meeting on the nuclear deal discussed implications of the Hyde Act. The panel will again meet to discuss the deal on November 16.
''Indo-US nuclear deal will not be operationalised till panel meets again,'' said External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
He added that UPA-Left committee deliberated in a cooperative atmosphere.
Finally Left has got the assurance it wanted from the UPA on operationalisation of N-deal. It had wanted UPA to state categorically that it would not operationalise deal now.
Earlier, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has reportedly expressed his disappointment on the setback in the Indo-US nuclear deal.
According to sources, Singh told senior leaders of the Congress and key allies that he is extremely embarrassed about the nuclear deal turnaround and felt let down. The leaders met at the prime minister's residence.
However, the CPI (M) on Sunday said it's unlikely to be the last meet on the issue.
Speaking to reporters in Bangalore, CPI(M) Polit Bureau member Sitaram Yechury said there were likely to be more meetings on the issue.
PM not to resign
Meanwhile, Congress on Monday dismissed as ''baseless'' the speculation that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has threatened to quit over the nuclear deal controversy.
''I don't respond to baseless speculation,'' Congress spokesman Abhishek Singhvi said when asked about reports that Singh has threatened to quit earlier in the day during a meeting with leaders of some allies.
The assertion came amid reports that the prime minister had told the meeting that he had felt let down by the allies over the nuclear deal and was feeling embarrassed.
Singh had said last week that all the allies of the UPA government were ''part and parcel'' of the decision to go ahead with the deal
