NEW DELHI (IRNA) – The Indian Left on Saturday warned the Congress led United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government against voting against Iran at the March 6 International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) meeting.

India should not vote against Iran at the March 6 IAEA meeting to refer that country's nuclear program to the UN Security council, Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPI-M) Politburo member Sitaram Yechury said.

He wanted India to abstain from voting in the event of the issue coming for a vote.

Meanwhile on the Indo-U.S. nuclear deal, he said that was not a serious issue to rock the UPA government.

"The nuclear deal is not a great harm to rock the government. If the government does not address four apprehensions raised by CPI (M), then we will have to think over it."

"We are waiting for the Prime Minister's statement on the deal. Manmohan singh has taken a correct stand to inform the Parliament on the issue", he said.

He asked the government not to make any move to implement the deal until the U.S. Congress made amendments in necessary laws.
