Gearing up to implement their threat of withdrawing support to the UPA Government over the Indo-US nuclear deal, the Left parties will on Friday work out the timing and modalities of the pullout.

“We will demand tomorrow from the Government to tell us as to when it is going to the Board of Governors of the IAEA. The question is not whether they are going (to IAEA). The fact that they are going ahead is clear, but when is the question,” CPI General Secretary AB Bardhan told reporters after a meeting of the party’s Central Secretariat.

“There are no two opinions (about the Left decision to withdraw support). Modalities will be decided … we have to write to the President (to declare withdrawal of support) ...all these things will be decided,” he said.

Asked whether the Left parties had any indication as to when the Government would move the IAEA, Bardhan said, “The Government itself is in a hurry. If they are going (to IAEA), they are going within this week … within the next seven, eight or 10 days.”
