| The Central Committee of the CPIM has endorsed the party Politburo's opposition to the Indo-US nuclear deal and authorised it to do whatever it can to block the deal.
The Politburo had warned the government of serious consequences if it went ahead with negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency and Nuclear Suppliers Group.
The Left has also made it clear that the government can go to the coming meeting of the IAEA in Vienna, but cannot talk about the 123 deal.
Also the Left parties plan to hold nationwide agitation from 1-16 September highlighting the adverse consequences on Indo-US nuclear deal and Indo-US strategic alliance.
However, despite all the dire warnings by the Left, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh stood firm on India going ahead with Indo-US nuclear deal.
In a joint press conference with the visiting Japanese prime minister, Dr Manmohan Singh made it clear that India will go to the Nuclear Suppliers Group (the NSG), a necessary step for the nuke deal to go through.
''Certainly true that we have some turbulence but I have confidence we shall be able to over come it. When winter comes spring cannot be far behind,'' said Singh.
But the Left has decided to wait till the government spells out its stand on negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
Left sources made it clear to NDTV that they would announce their plans on the future of their ties with the UPA only after a clear statement from the government.
Which means all eyes will be on September 18 when the Atomic Energy Commission chief Anil Kakodkar travels to Vienna to attend the IAEA meeting.
Divisions within Left
The 85-member Central Committee of the CPIM on Wednesday began a two-day meet in the Capital to discuss the standoff with the government and it is expected to endorse the decision taken by the CPIM politburo.
