Adding more pressure on India on the nuclear deal, US senator Joseph Biden had urged the Indian government to wrap up the nuke deal by July. "July is the end... If it is not done by the end of July, the deal does not go through. It has to reach the US Congress before June," said Biden, who heads the influential Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Biden along with two other senators had met Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and discussed their concerns on the nuclear deal. With the US presidential polls on way, he also indicated that it was highly unlikely that the next president will be able to present the deal in its present form. He also added that that the Democratic Party has strong views relating to nuclear proliferation and arms control.
"It is in India's interest. It is India's decision," he said.
