Stop talks with IAEA: Left
Our Bureau
New Delhi, Aug. 20 The four Left parties at a meeting held here today asked the UPA Government not to begin negotiations with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) before setting up a committee on Indo-US nuclear deal. A joint statement issued by the four Left parties said: “The Left parties can understand the setting up of a committee or any other mechanism which can go into the objections regarding the agreement and evaluating the implications of the Hyde Act for the nuclear cooperation deal. But this can follow only when the next step at the IAEAis not taken.
“The Left parties appeal to all the parties in the UPA to see the reasonableness of the stand taken which is fully in the spirit of our parliamentary democracy and the government’s commitment to the country’s welfare. The Left parties await the response of the Congress leadership and the UPA to their proposal.”
