India's foreign minister said the government will go to the IAEA and seek its approval for the nuclear deal after seeking a confidence vote in Parliament.

External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday said the monsoon session of Parliament will commence from Aug 11 and that the government was ready to prove its majority on the floor of the House after the Left's withdrawal of support over the India-US nuclear deal.
