New Delhi, Aug 30 : The United Progressive Alliance (UPA) Government here today decided to set up a committee to look into the Left parties' concerns on the Indo-US civil nuclear deal.
After a 30-minute long Congress-Left meeting here, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee said: "The operationalisation of the deal will take into account the Committee's findings,"
This hopes to bring an end to the three-week impasse between the two sides on the deal.
The composition of the committee would be announced shortly.
Left leaders said it was clear that the Government will not operationalise the deal till the committee's findings are known.
The Left have slammed the deal saying it compromises India's sovereignty and imposes American hegemony.
They had warned the government of "serious consequences" if it did not stop pursuing key global approvals for the deal.
