New Delhi: Apparently running out of patience, the government is now thinking of taking a final call soon on whether to go ahead with the implementation of the Indo-US nuclear deal, which is being staunchly opposed by the Left allies.

In this regard, the government is understood to have called a high-level meeting to be chaired by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in the next couple of days, where a decision will be taken, sources said on Tuesday.

Among others, the meeting will be attended by Prime Minister's Special Envoy on the nuclear deal Shyam Saran, Atomic Energy Commission Chairman Anil Kakodkar and India's High Commissioner to Singapore S Jaishankar, who was involved in the negotiations for the agreement since the beginning.

The meeting will look at the options available before the government to see the agreement through, considering that time is running out and the Left is adamant on not giving up its opposition to the deal.

As part of the implementation of the deal, India has to sign a safeguards agreement with the IAEA and seek a waiver from the 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group before the US Congress votes on it.

The US has already made it clear that the deal should come back to the Congress by July, failing which there will not be enough time for a vote as the country is having Presidential polls.
