New Delhi: External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday said the monsoon session of parliament will commence on August 11 and that the government was ready to prove its majority on the floor after the Left's withdrawal of support over the India-US nuclear deal.
"The monsoon session of parliament will be held from August 11 to September 5. The government will seek a vote of confidence as soon as it receives a formal communication from the Rashtrapati Bhavan," he told reporters after a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs (CCPA).
He added that the government will go ahead and seek the approval of the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency for an India-specific safeguards agreement only after the trust vote.
