UPA, Left to discuss N-deal today

New Delhi, June 17

The UPA leadership will meet the Left parties on Wednesday to discuss the nuclear deal between India and the US. The CPI(M) leader, Mr Prakash Karat, had already discussed the matter with the External Affairs Minister, Mr Pranab Mukherjee, on Monday night. Sources in Left parties said that Mr Mukherjee has asked the CPI(M) General Secretary to allow the Government to move ahead with the deal as that would enable it to conduct nuclear trade with Russia and France.

The General Secretary of the Forward Block, one of the four Left parties providing outside support to the Government, Mr Debabrata Biswas, told Business Line that “there is no question of any change in the stand taken by the Left parties on the nuclear issue”. “I don’t think the Government would move on its own because then we will have no option but to withdraw support. But I don’t feel that things would go to that extent,” he added.
