Delay yes, but not end of the road for N-deal:PM

Trying to downplay the consequences of a delay on operationalising the India-US civil nuclear deal, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh sounded cautiously optimistic on Tuesday evening when he said he did not think the deal had reached the ‘end of the road’.

“I would not like to speculate on what would be the consequences if there is some delay. There is some delay but I don’t think we have reached the end of the road (on the nuclear deal),” Singh said in response to a question.
He was jointly addressing a press conference with Angela Merkel at Hyderabad House after what he called “warm, fruitful and intensive discussions” lasting over an hour with the German Chancellor.

Accepting that “we have run into some problems domestically with the 123 Agreement which we have signed with the United States”, the Prime Minister said: “Which we are trying to resolve”.
“We are trying to evolve a broad based national consensus and are committed to see that the process is carried forward. We are a democracy and in a democracy you have to take along all those who are supporting you,” the Prime Minister said.
