KOLKATA: The Left parties would be represented by six members in the UPA government-appointed committee to go into the objections raised by the Left on the nuclear deal with the USA, CPI-M leader Sitaram Yechuri today said.
''Those Left leaders who regularly attend the UPA-Left co-ordination committee meetings will be the members representing the Left parties at the committee," Yechuri told reporters.
He said the core committee of Congress was likely to meet tomorrow to decide on its representatives at the committee.
The party's politburo member said the committee would examine the implication of the Hyde Act on the 123 agreement as well as its impact on the country's nuclear self-sufficiency, foreign policy and security.
The nuclear deal would be debated in Parliament tentatively on September 10 or 11 without any voting subject to the availability of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee, he said.
