"It has gone to the IAEA, it will come back to this committee which we have set up. When that comes we will see. It is not going forward anywhere," CPI(M) General Secretary Prakash Karat said.

He said the understanding between the UPA and the Left was that the Government will negotiate with the IAEA on the safeguards treaty and bring the outcome to the committee, set up to iron out differences on the issue.

"Let it (the negotiations with IAEA) be over and come to the committee. It is not going beyond that anywhere now," he told reporters after releasing the draft political resolution for the CPI(M)'s 19th Party Congress.

"Let it rest where it is now," he added.

The 55-page draft resolution talks about the firm stand taken by the CPI(M) and other Left parties to oppose the deal and its decision to do whatever is necessary to block the agreement.

"Faced with the political consequences of such a confrontation with the Left, the Congress and the UPA decided not to proceed further with the operationalisation of the agreement," it said.
