Amid mounting pressure by the Left parties on the UPA government over the nuclear deal with US, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) today said it was close to finalising the text of the India-specific safeguards but it was up to India to ready the agreement. | |
| "Both sides are close to a final text but India has to confirm to the IAEA that there is an agreement on the text," IAEA Press and Public Information Officer Ayhan Evrensel said in an email. |
| |
| "Until then, there is in fact no agreement. So, the ball is in India's court," he said. |
