Washington: With the UPA Government on Tuesday facing a trust vote in the Lok Sabha, the United States has said the two countries can move forward with the ‘unique’ Indo-US civilian nuclear deal once a decision has been made in India.
"My understanding is there may be a vote (of confidence), so I guess well have to wait and see where we go with this," Acting State Department Spokesman Gonzala Gallegos said.
"This is a pretty unique agreement important for us. Indians have to decide whether or not they wish to proceed with this agreement. We have said that we continue to support it, and we'll do all we can to move forward with it once we hear from the Indians," he said in a briefing.
The US official, however, declined to make further comments saying, "I'll be here on Tuesday same time (after the trial of strength in the Indian Parliament)."
