N-deal: UPA-Left committee to meet today

I saw the coverage on NDTV 24x7 about the never-ending saga of the Nuclear deal. The UPA-Left committee on the Indo-US nuclear deal is meeting on Monday to discuss a crucial draft safeguards agreement.

The Left had earlier demanded that the government spell out its nuclear plans by the end of this month.

This is the first time that the government will meet Left leaders after talking to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) about an India-specific safeguards agreement.

The government is expected to hand over copies of the draft agreement it has reached with the IAEA. It will also brief the Left on the three-month long negotiations with the nuclear watchdog.

I have been tracking the news on NDTV 24x7 since the very beginning. The Indo-US nuclear deal has played out for over two years with both the government and the Left sticking to their positions. The government believes it is a great deal, but the Left argues otherwise.
