New Delhi, Apr 23: Amidst continuing uncertainty, the UPA and its Left allies will meet here on May 6 and discuss the state of government's negotiations with the IAEA on the safeguards agreement for implementing the Indo-US nuclear deal.

Disclosing this, senior CPI(M) leader Sitaram Yechury said on wednesday that "we will consider what the government will report to us on its talks with the IAEA. On that basis, we will take the issue forward."

The two sides met in March last and decided that they would continue their discussions after the Congress of the two parties held in Hyderabad and Coimbatore recently.

Asserting that the Left opposition to the Indo-US nuclear deal continued, he said the government was committed to consider the findings of this Committee while taking the next step on the nuclear deal.

Yechury refused to divulge details about the exchanges made with the government on the nuclear issue.

Asked whether the government had shown the contents of the draft agreement with the IAEA, he countered by asking "how can the government show us a draft".

However, sources said the issues on which notes have been exchanged included issues relating to uninterrupted fuel supplies.

The Left parties have been opposing the 123 agreement on the grounds that conditions laid down by the American law - Hyde Act - would impinge on India pursuing an independent foreign policy and make it "subservient" to US strategic interests worldwide.

The committee last met on March 17 when the government briefed Left parties on the talks at the IAEA meet in Vienna in February.
